Sometimes. It depends on what you have changed of the kernel's
configuration. When building the PCMCIA modules, the pcmcia-cs
Configure script checks the kernel for the following:
* PCI BIOS support
* Advanced Power Management (APM) support
* SCSI support
* Networking support
* Module version checking
* PCMCIA IDE device support
* Token Ring device support
* DEC Alpha UDB target platform

Yes. It sounds like you have changed enough of the kernel's
configuration to require rebuilding of the pcmcia modules. See the
debian/README file in the Debian version of the pcmcia-cs source tree
for instructions on how to recompile the modules package.
