Thanks, but I'd think it would need at least the config file? (I always
read about "configured kernel source tree"...) Or this maybe just in
some cases...

It seems setting CONFIG_PCMCIA=n did the job: it automatically removed
the other PCMCIA options from .config, I see. (make config scares me ;)

I see yenta isn't in pcmcia-modules-2.4.16, so I'm compiling a kernel
again, with my previous options, I think they had yenta. I wonder why my
/etc/default/pcmcia changed from yenta to i82xxxx, I see I have a
pcmcia.orig which contains yenta. ;)
Another kernel compile coming up, I think this should do it though.
Thanks!
