Everytime the kernel is recompiled, the pcmcia modules have to recompiled
also to match that particular kernel. I've got the "unresolved symbols"
error before when I've tried to use mismatched versions, eg trying to using
pcmcia compiled for kernel 2.2.12 after installing kernel 2.2.14.
What you might be able to do is download the deb files for the latest
kernel and pcmcia modules, and make sure the versions match precisely, and
install those debs explicitly:
dpkg -i kernel-image_2.2.14-1.deb pcmcia-modules_3.1.8-2.2.14.deb
or whatever the actual files are (you might want to grab the deb for the
pcmcia-cs package too, the non-kernel supporting binaries).
If that doesn't work, you may want to download the kernel and pcmcia source
and recompile them yourself using make-kpkg. That way you *know* the
versions match.
