Now that is funny because I had the same problem, and I notice that it
is in the 'base' section of the ftp site of bo/frozen/1.3, however it
was not installed by my base disks either, or at least the package was

I also noticed that it unpacked it but didn't install it as a result of
this.
so I used dpkg --force-dependency pcmcia-modules-xxxxx.deb;
now it is installed anyway. I guess you didn't do this because....
