Update to this package and everything should work like on 7.x.

ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/zoz/pcmcia/8.0/pcmcia-3.1.31-0.i386.rpm

The "problem" was that the pcmcia package was build with wlan-ng without
implement it very well. 

Update the package with

rcpcmcia stop
rpm -e pcmcia
rpm -ihv pcmcia-3.1.31-0.i386.rpm
rcpmcia start
