Sure! This one's easy. The /lib/modules/<version>/pcmcia directory
is created by the PCMCIA Card Services package, not the kernel source
distribution. PCMCIA Card Services is located at (Ummm, one
moment... ) ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/kernel/pcmcia/, (or your
favorite mirror site, of course).
Tell me what happens, Martha. I'm in the middle of installing the
little buggers on my Thinkpad 365.
