I use the kernels from kernel.org or a mirror not that I think the 2.4.18-686 kernel is that
different but you may have to get the pcmcia modules or some other package for it
I don't know

also I know that when I insert my pcmcia card a script uses /etc/pcmcia/config 
to know what driver to use and possible load
for instants there is a line with the following

card "Linksys WPC11 11Mbps 802.11b WLAN Card"
 version "Instant Wireless ", " Network PC CARD", "Version 01.02"
 bind "orinoco_cs"

I also noticed there is a /etc/pcmcia/config.opts 
this seems to say what resources are available for PCMCIA devices such as
include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff   
I wonder if changing the values to solve the 2.4.2[0,1] kernel problem with Resource in 
use.  I'll have to read more in case that would be a bad thing to do.
