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!
