i know that you said you couldn't find a pcmcia-cs package, but for a
cleaner, packaged solution you might want to see if you can find
whatever package provides pcmcia-cs (the two main programs pcmcia-cs
provides is cardmgr & cardctl, located under /sbin on my debian system)
and rebuild the srpm from which came the rpm that provides pcmcia-cs. 
or just use checkinstall.  can't really help you with building srpms as
it's a few years since i ran red hat and needed to do such.

just a suggestion as i prefer packages over source installs for
something as large/major as pcmcia-cs.

this i don't know.  knew it at one time to set-up my machine, but have
since forgotten.

you may/probably need to rebuild the kernel pcmcia-cs modules to include
pnp.  i believe building the main pcmcia-cs package w/ pnp just gives
you the setpnp and lspnp programs, but you need the pnp driver (which i
*think* is embedded in pcmcia_core.o) to be built.


you can reference my previous post on pcmcia-cs w/ pnp, though i don't
know how well my debian set-up translates to red hat.

anyways...
