Hi, I myself compiled the carbus stuff you talked about one for my laptop. I'm writing from memory here, and thats known to be less than perfect ;P but it will point you in the right direction....
1) Get the sourcecode for the PCMCIA package, and compile this on your system 2) Install the new pcmcia stuff 3) compile the rtl driver (see the end of the sourcecode for compile instructions) btw, i had to add the path to /usr/src/linux/include and /usr/src/pcmcia/include in my case (-I if memory serves me, and DO CHECK the path's on your system). 4) copy the .o to your /lib/modules/[kernel-version]/pcmcia 5) run depmod (!! important !!) 6) edit the config files for your pcmcia package If you are smart, copy your old (read: modified to work nice with debian) config scripts first, or extract them from the pcmcia deb later. Good luck!
