no pmcia-modules package for newest kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4

["Raphael M. Grochtmann" <raphael.grochtmann@macd.com>]

Hi members,

yesterday I upgraded my "testing" system and got the newest
kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4 installed. But I found that there is
no matching pcmcia-modules package for it available -- thus my
laptop had no network after the upgrade.

Solution for me: I reinstalled a slightly older version of the
bf2.4 kernel with it's matching pcmcia-modules package:

dpkg -l ...
  ii  kernel-image-2 2.4.18-5woody3 Linux kernel image for version 2.4.18 (bf va
  ii  pcmcia-modules 3.1.33-6woody1 PCMCIA Modules for Linux (kernel 2.4.18-bf2.

Question:
  Has it been forgotten -- will it be created?

Cheers
Raphael


PS:

With this setup my aptitude now displays the following:

     --\ Packages being deleted due to unsatisfied dependencies
     id  pcmcia-modules-2.4.18-bf2.4       3.1.33-6woody1k5woody3
     --\ Packages to be upgraded
     iu  kernel-image-2.4.18-bf2.4         2.4.18-5woody4

This seems to be correct but disturbed me a bit -- the version numbers
are not really intuitive.

Now I set both packages to be on-hold until there is an pcmcia-modules
package available for the new bf2.4 kernel.

Any tips for a better/more elegant solution?

Thanks
Raphael
