Re: i8000 : Can't build pcmcia modules

["Kevin Easton" <s3159795@student.anu.edu.au>]

To recompile from the kernel-source and pcmcia-source packages on Debian,
make sure /usr/src/linux is a symlink to your kernel source directory
(probably /usr/src/kernel-source-2.4.3).  Then, go into /usr/src/linux and
do:

make-kpkg kernel_image
make-kpkg modules_image

You'll then get two debs in /usr/src - one for the kernel, and one for the
pcmcia modules.  Use dpkg -i to install these.
