by unpacking the pcmcia-cs-3.1.29 source code from the pcmcia website 
(non-debian).

There isn't a file by that name.  I tried to remove and reinstall the 
pcmcia-cs stuff and nothing shows up in /usr/src to reflect it...

I thought once long ago I installed 3.1.22 by using the source code in 
/usr/src/pcmcia-cs-3.1.22 and it worked fine.  But that's really not the 
case here.
