I initially had the same problem. The new module is called yenta_socket. Here
is what I did.
-Download and unpack pcmcia-source and kernel-source-2.4.20. (and install
kernel-package if not already installed)
-Change to kernel source directory, make [config|menuconfig|xconfig]
-run 'make-kpkg --revision number kernel_image' (or with whatever other options
you want)
-run 'make-kpkg --revision number modules_image'
-take the two packages (in my case, kernel-image-2.4.20_2.0_i386.deb and
pcmcia-modules-2.4.20_3.1.33-6+2.0_i386.deb since is used revision 2.0) from
the parent of your kernel source directory
-install the kernel package with 'dpkg -i kernel-image-2.4.20_2.0_i386.deb'
-install the pcmcia package with 'dpkg -i
pcmcia-modules-2.4.20_3.1.33-6+2.0_i386.deb --force-overwrite'
-run lilo and reboot
Note: I don't know why (probably because of overlapping files in the two
packages) but if don't force and overwrite with the pcmcia package it get
errors about other files that belong to the kernel package and pcmcia won't
work when I reboot. If I force the overwrite everything just works. Maybe
someone else can shed some light on why this is so.
HTH,
