Have you installed the pcmcia-cs package?  You will need this and 
probably the hotplug package, both should be available through apt-get. 
  If you have an 11g wireless card you then probably also need to take a 
look at ndiswrapper, but that's where it can start to get a little more 
complex.

What kernel version do you have?  There are differences between getting 
things running on a 2.4 kernel compared to a 2.6 kernel - basically for 
a 2.4 kernel the drivers come as part of the pcmcia-cs package, for a 
2.6 kernel they come as kernel modules.  I'm fairly sure that Debian 
will take care of that by itself, it all worked for me on Ubuntu anyway.
