It should have saved the old one at /etc/pcmcia/config.0
You might get a more reliable two-high-beeps if you set
PCIC_OPTS="poll_interval=100" in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia

See 'General setup'. You will want hot-pluggable support as well as
PCMCIA

This sounds like /etc/pcmcia/network.opts needs to be set properly.

If the patch worked, you should see it under:
Block Devices -->Support Removable floppy interfaces (PCMCIA)
