I added the following to /etc/apt/sources.list
# proposed
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian dists/potato-proposed-updates/
deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US
dists/potato-proposed-updates/
apt-get install pcmcia-modules-2.2.19
The updated the modules and added pcmcia and also updated the 2.2.19
kernel to one that matches the compiled modules.
I've been using this for a while without any trouble that I'm aware of.
Eric
