You'll need to compile it yourself.  Here's what I would recommend:

- Put the source of the kernel you want to use somewhere under
 /usr/src.
- make {menu,x,}config it for your system.
- Install pcmcia-source, and then cd /usr/src && tar xzf
 pcmcia-cs.tar.gz
- cd back into the directory with your kernel and:
 make-kpkg binary; make-kpkg modules

You'll need the latest 'kernel-package' installed for make-kpkg.
