A set of pcmcia-modules-2.2.20 packages do exist. I uploaded a new set of these packages yesterday to sid. As for the packages in woody, I have no control over that. I wish the archive maintainers would replace the outdated packages in woody, but they never do. If you would like to help, file bugs against "ftp.debian.org" asking them to move the newer packages into woody. If anyone knows how to get packages into woody, please let me know. It's a complete mystery to me.

The pcmcia-modules packages have not been discontinued. I continue to build packages to accompany the latest kernel-image packages for the 2.2 and 2.4 series kernels. This means that I have built six packages for the 2.2.20 kernels and one for the 2.4.17 kernel using the latest version of pcmcia-cs. I have neither the time nor the resources, however, to build packages for all of the kernel-image packages out there (last time I counted there were 27 of these packages). Anyone willing to build these packages is welcome to do so. I have tried to automate and document the procedure as much as possible, and I am willing to provide advice and assistance to anyone willing to try. Fortunately, some of the maintainers of the kernel-image packages are nice enough to also build a new pcmcia-modules package to accompany a new version of their packages. That certainly helps. - Brian
