Get the pcmcia-source package; untar /usr/src/pcmcia-cs.tar.gz ---
it goes into /usr/src/modules; and then run
   make-kpkg modules_image
at the root of your kernel source tree.  This will build a pcmcia-modules
package which you can then install using dpkg; it contains all the pcmcia
modules you need.

It makes a package that can be installed and removed using
dpkg, which is a convenience.
