Oh, well, if the SuSE docs say you don't need to recompile, that means that their kernel is already setup to handle the pcmcia...so you don't need to recompile. Building the latest pcmcia-cs will only update the tools as the drivers from that package are incompatible with the kernel ones. But updating to the latest 2.4.19 kernel might give you an updated driver that works with your card. But before that, what exactly is the problem you are having with the card? What happens when you plug it in??
