Of course not. There would need to be a kernel-image-2.0.32 package
against which the PCMCIA modules are compiled.

There is a bug in the netwave_cs.c source. It is fixed in the patched
Debian source, for example in the pcmcia-source package, but it seems
that you are using the upstream source. Here is the fix: move the
line that reads `#include <linux/sched.h>' up three lines higher in
the file. The sched.h header file needs to be included before the
kernel.h header file.
If you are using the kernel-package package (make-kpg) to build your
custom kernel, there is an easier way to rebuild the PCMCIA modules.
Place the Debianized PCMCIA sources in a subdirectory of
/usr/src/modules, for example the pcmcia-source package places the
source in /usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs. Then once you have configured
your kernel with `make config' (or `make menuconfig' or `make
xconfig'), run the following from the base of the kernel source tree:
make-kpkg --revision <name> kernel_image
make-kpkg --revision <name> modules_image
where <name> is the revision number of the packages that you are
building. I like to use <host name>.<number> for <name>, so that if I
am building a kernel customized for a machine name ceres, a 2.0.32
kernel package that I build would first be named ceres.1. If I had to
rebuild the kernel (to insert patches) the next package would use
ceres.2 as the revision number and so on. These commands will build a
new kernel-image*.deb file and a pcmcia-modules*.deb file that will be
compatible once installed no matter how you configure the kernel.
