I need to disagree.

Was it an error because of something else, maybe?
pcmcia-cs author changed his detection way, this broke for a few
people as we had some trouble with Buchan ~ 1.5 month ago.

You need to use xirc2ps_cs.o from the BOOT kernel, right, not
stock kernel, of course.
But, there are CS controller and cards initialization issues that
make it fail when you try to insmod card modules by hand - at

typical/common/anything.

Been on drugs lately? :)
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# rpm -qpl

/lib/modules/2.4.22-10mdkBOOT/kernel/drivers/net/pcmcia/xirc2ps_cs.o.gz
Or I've just switched to a parallel universe that is :/.

At least, dependencies are mandatory, yes. But still init of
controller is needed I think.
