Do you have the express card pci hotplug controller driver loaded? It's
going to be controlled by either the acpiphp or pciehp driver, depending
on your hardware.
Also note that a lot of laptop BIOSes can't handle hotplugging
expresscard devices yet due to the lack of some other major operating
system not supporting that just yet :(
