My A30p would not suspend or sleep either when PCMCIA cards are inserted. 
This is intended behaviour I think, or at least not uncommon.

I remember to have read something about that most PCMCIA communication 
devices cannot be put to suspend because they cannot restore their 
previous state.

You can utilize the apmd and apm_proxy script to execute commands before 
suspending or sleeping or hibernating.
