Sounds like you missed something in the Advanced Topics section on
Third-Party modules.
You must disable PCMCIA *completely* in the kernel config. That's right,
tell the kernel you don't need no steenkin' PCMCIA. pcmcia-cs looks at
this; if it finds PCMCIA enabled in the kernel it won't build kernel
modules.
