Let's see whether I understand you correctly.  You have installed the
following packages:

    kernel-source-2.0.30
    kernel-package
    pcmcia-source

There is an easy way to get a working kernel and PCMCIA combo.  Do the
following as root:

1) cd /usr/src/linux

2) make-kpkg clean

3) make config 
	[ or make menuconfig or make xconfig -- whichever you prefer ]

4) Configure your kernel.

5) make-kpkg --revision custom.1.0 kernel_image
	[ You may substitute another name for custom.1.0 if you
	  like. ]

6) make-kpkg --revision custom.1.0 modules_image
	[ This will build a pcmcia-modules-2.0.30 package.
	  Do NOT use make modules_image or make modules. ]

7) Install the two .deb files (for the kernel-image-2.0.30 and
   pcmcia-modules-2.0.30 packages) that have been created in the
   /usr/src directory.  You may now remove the kernel-source-2.0.30,
   pcmcia-source, and kernel-package packages if you wish.

Note that you can use the standard Debian pcmcia-cs package.  It does
not need to be recompiled.
