pcmcia is one of those third party efforts that has been wrapped into
the kernel. The kernel code and the third party (pcmcia-cs) code are now
developed in parallel, although they are not identical. 

I discovered this when putting gentoo on my laptop. The strategy for
that was to disable pcmcia support in the kernel, enable wireless
support (but no wireless cards). Then compile pcmcia-cs and use its
drivers etc.

That was on 2.4.20. It may be worth trying to disable pcmcia in the
kernel and compile pcmcia-cs??

actually perhaps the starting point is to work out whetehr you were
using the kernel modules or the pcmcia-cs modules in your previous setup.

But maybe you know all this already!
