[ltp] T21 pcmcia hell

[Greg Herlein]

You know, I had really wierd problems where I could not seem to
get any PCMCIA card detected... and I discovered that I had
accidentally compiled PCMCIA support into the kernel instead of
setting it as a module.  Make sure "PCMCIA/CardBus support" is
set to compile for module...
