	That kernel is actually creating the problem.  Firstly, your
 new kernel has a version tht is lower than the kernel that is
 installed: that creates the first error about downgrades. 

	Then you have pcmcia-modules installed, and the version
 installed has a higher version number than you are trying to install,
 and that is a problem.

	Finally, you can't just downgrade the kernel-image by itself,
 without also installing the modules at the same time, since the
 installed pcmcia-modules shall object to downgrading the kernel-image
 as well.

	Also, please note that you are trying to install 2.2.18pre21
 on top of a previous version; that has potential problems with
 modules (especially if you change the .config file).  The
 documentation talks about moving /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21 away before
 installing. 

 Nicola> Any idea how to fix the problem ?

	a) up the version number of your kernel to one that compare
	   higher than the official, previously installed image
	b) Install these debs simultaneosly, after moving away the
	   /lib/modules/2.2.18pre21 dir
