pcmcia installation?

[Andreas Goesele <Goesele@hfph.mwn.de>]

Hi,

I wanted to install a pcmcia network card on my laptop, but I have big
problems. My kernel is 2.2.18pre21.

1) First I simply wanted to install simply the precompiled drivers
from the corresponding deb packages. So I got
pcmcia-modules-2.2.18pre21_3.1.22-0.1potato.0.2k1.deb which seemed to
me the correct version. But I got a missing dependency:

Package kernel-image-2.2.18pre21 is not installed.

I then wanted to get this kernel package, but on the package site I find:

kernel-image-2.2.18pre21 (= 2.2.18pre21-1) (NOT AVAILABLE)

What would be the easiest way to solve that problem?

2) I didn't know an easy way out, and so I tried to compile my own
modules.

I got pcmcia-source_3.1.22-0.2potato.deb, installed it and did a
`debian/rules binary-modules' in
/usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs. Compilation started fine, but then I got:

MODULE -c apa1480_stub.c
apa1480_stub.c:53: ../drivers/scsi/aic7xxx/aic7xxx.h: No such file or directory
apa1480_stub.c:79: `AIC7XXX' undeclared here (not in a function)
make[2]: *** [apa1480_stub.o] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs/clients'
make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/modules/pcmcia-cs'
make: *** [build-modules] Error 2

I don't even think I need apa1480_stub.o ...

Any suggestion, how I could get the compilation through?

Many thanks in advance!
