If you have compiled the kernel the Debian-Way with
make-kpkg --append-to-version mykernel --revision1 --config menuconfig \
configure binary-arch
You had gotten two paclages, the kernel-image and kernel-headers or
make-kpkg --append-to-version mykernel --revision1 --config menuconfig \
configure binary
to get kernel-source and kernel-doc too.
Normaly it is enough to install the right Kernel-Headers to compile
additional modules.
Which mean you need:
1) kernel-headers FOR YOUR KERNEL
2) pcmcia-source because you need to recompile the whole stuff
3) THE PATCH

Do it your self
Everybody which compiles the kernel self, need to compile the right
pcmcia-cs modules too, which mean, no one can do it for you except
you can give out the kernel-headers
