this is not the debian way(tm) but this is what i do:
(for a 2.2.19 kernel)
mv /lib/modules/2.2.19 /lib/modules/2.2.19.old
make kernel & install kernel
reboot with new kernel
make & install pcmcia stuff
reboot again to be sure it all comes up ..

i compile pcmcia stuff after i reboot incase it tries to
detect what kernel im running and try to build with that
as opposed to the kernel that i have built in /usr/src already
