Possibly true! Compiling via 'make-kpkg --revision custom modules_image'
is the "correct" procedure for creating the package pcmcia-modules.
Sebastian, did you get the pcmcia source from the pcmcia-cs package or from
the pcmcia-modules package? They are in fact two different things, and I
think you want the latter. You shouldn't need to recompile pcmcia-cs as
such for the kernel since it's only the modules that the kernel is
interested in (though you need both for pcmcia to run).
What I do is download the pcmcia-cs package (since I can't access it if I'm
shutting down pcmcia), and the source for pcmcia-modules. I compile the
modules, then I dpkg -i both packages.
Apart from that, double-check you have debian/rules for both the kernel
source *and* for pcmcia-cs (which comes from pcmcia-modules, confusing, huh?)
Bonne chance!
