I understand your hesitance about replacing pcmcia. I've run into
similar problems. Just last week I hosed up my pcmcia as well. In my
experience, if you can't use the stock kernel/pcmcia, then you need to
build both from source. They're effectively a unit.
Now, I don't want to mislead you or anyone else. I have other things on
my task list before I build a RH kernel patch.
I'd like to note that with a kernel patch, pcmcia-cs will still need to
be patched as well. The 'kernel patch' portion is only the driver while
the pcmcia-cs patch would be the startup/configure scripts.

The driver library that allows pcsc to use the reader.

I will definitely announce them. I'm more likely to build an IFD RPM
before a seemless kernel patch is completed. The kernel packages are
tricky to replace - as you noted above regarding pcmcia-cs.
