I hope someone can clear things up for me. I think I'm making this harder than it really is.
As an exercise, I just built a new kernel, but I'm not clear about the pcmcia-cs setup. Mostly I'm confused about the mix of source and Debian packages. My original kernel was from http://people.debian.org/~blade/XFS-Install/ and I installed the pcmcia-cs Debian package. I just now downloaded form kernel.org 2.4.18, and applied patches patch-2.4.19-pre8.gz, and the JP patch set (http://infolinux.de/jp/). I used make-kpkg to build a kernel-image. Now, the driver for my Cisco wireless card (airo.o) in the newly built kernel is an older version from the kernel sources: 2.4.18-bf2.4-xfs was my previous kernel 2.4.19-pre8-jp13 is the one I just built laptop:/usr/src# locate airo.o /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4-xfs/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/airo.o = 1.8 /lib/modules/2.4.18-bf2.4-xfs/pcmcia/airo.o = 1.8 /lib/modules/2.4.19-pre8-jp13/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/airo.o = 0.3 I'm confused -- on debian-user it was recommended that I use the debian pcmcia-cs package, but I'm not clear if I can due to the different kernel versions. I assume I cannot use the debain package pcmcia-cs because I've now got a unique /lib/modules/2.4.19-pre8-jp13 directory, so apt-get wouldn't know where to install the drivers. So, it would seem I need to build pcmcia-cs from sourceforge. Will I also need to rebuild the kernel once again? If so, do I need to disable pcmcia support in the kernel, or will installing the pcmcia-cs overwrite what it needs? I'm not sure how, but is there any reason to build pcmcia-cs into a .deb instead of just make install? If I do need to rebuild the kernel I guess I need to bump the revision and do some lilo trick to keep my original kernel from being replaced when I install the kernel the second time...
