Go to google search "pcmcia linux", you will find 

http://pcmcia-cs.sf.net/

Go to the HOWTO, and you will find in section 2.2 Kernel PCMCIA support:
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/doc/PCMCIA-HOWTO-2.html

"The kernel PCMCIA code has the same functionality as the driver side of
the pcmcia-cs package. It does not eliminate the need to install the
pcmcia-cs package, since it requires the same user tools (cardmgr,
cardctl, /etc/pcmcia/* files). The drivers in pcmcia-cs can still be
built for 2.4 kernels, so you have a choice of using either the
in-kernel PCMCIA drivers, or the drivers included in pcmcia-cs. 
With 2.5 and later kernels, the standalone drivers cannot be used. "

That was NOT that difficult to find.
