You can go to the command line, and run dpkg. If you don't have the
pcmcia-modules-*deb yet, have it using apt-get; apt-get -d install
pcmcia-modules* (type the exact version number).
Then,
cd /var/cache/apt/archives
dpkg --force-conflicts -i pcmcia-modules*
You'd have two conflicting packages, but it would be all right. It would
be nice just to purge the kernel-image if you don't really need it;
dpkg --purge --force-conflicts --force-depends kernel-image-2.4.17-386
and then reinstall the pcmcia-modules-* again using dpkg. I don't think
there are some packages that depend on kernel-image package.
