It's fairly painless if you use kernel package. The pcmcia-source
stuff should install in /usr/src/modules iirc. You then go into the
kernel source tree, do make {menu,x}config as you prefer, make-kpkg
clean, then make-kpkg --revision=local.2.2.18-1 kernel_image
modules_image. You'll end up with two debs in /usr/src that, once
installed, will make your laptop happy ;)
Notes: dpkg seems to get pissed if I install the kernel-image and the
pcmcia-modules packages at the same time, so I always install the
kernel-image deb first. Also, you are well advised to place these
packages on hold once installed.
This reminds me - I need to upgrade my laptop before I travel tomorrow
:)
