Not the pcmcia source. The kernel source is building the bad links, and there has not been a new release of this package since this problem was discovered. Therefore, there has not been an opportunity to fix the problem with the kernel packages. > I have tried using the --force-overwrite option when installating > the pcmcia-modules package and it still does not work.

The temporary fix (until version 3.1.36-7 can be installed) is to copy the etc/config file from the pcmcia-cs source (i.e., /usr/src/modules/pcmcia/etc/config in the pcmcia-source package) to /etc/pcmcia/config. That should fix your problem for now. Your current config (assuming that you are running version 3.1.36-6 of pcmcia-cs) is set up to use the kernel drivers, not the standalone drivers. (This has been changed in 3.1.36-7.) Since you are building the pcmcia modules from the pcmcia-cs source, you want to use the standalone drivers. - Brian
