 no - i need help here :)

 my understanding (sorry to discuss you in 3rd person ershov!) is that
ershov is looking for the PCMCIA header component, to place on the
PCB.  as that component is decided on a per-component basis, you have
to actually *pick* the actual component to be used, then find its
datasheet, and then *make* the computerised representation (in this
case using kicad's module editor) before it can be placed onto the
CAD/CAM layout.

 that hasn't been done, so ershov is of course asking "where is it?"
and it doesn't exist, so he's going to have to make it.  but, first he
has to understand that it is correct that it doesn't exist, and we
have to understand if that is in fact the question that he is asking.
