The kernel source should contain the source code for all the drivers currently
supported by that kernel, pcmcia included.
For example, in this MDK box:
[me at here home]$ rpm -ql kernel-source-2.4.19-32mdk | grep -i pcmcia | wc
130 130 7320
[me at here home]$
That is, there's 130 files inside the kernel/source. So most probably you can
just keep going ahead at full speed.
Good luck and see you at TriLUG!
