If you are using the 2.4 kernel drivers (i.e., you have turned on the CONFIG_PCMCIA option) then you would not experience these problems. The problems with 3.1.31-6 occur only with those trying to use the new pcmcia-cs package with old versions of the pcmcia-modules-* packages or are trying to use the standalone modules without packaging them in a Debian package first.
I upgrade pcmcia-cs to pull in the newer applications (cardctl v3.1.31) and in that process ended up with this problem.
In the past 2.4.xx kernels I have been using the kernel supplied drivers for my network cards. Is it safe to assume that the problem I have experienced was limited to the fact that I also upgraded my pcmcia-cs binaries. And, if I were to make a new kernel based on 2.4.18 that I should not expect this problem again since I will be using the kernel based pcmcia driver libraries?
Is that about the 'gist' of it?
