Naw. You're doin' it the hard way.
I just did this yesterday on a TP755C and it was a piece of
cake. Follow this:
1) Get the STABLE debian package
devel/kernel-source-2.0.30_2.0.30-7.deb
2) Remove any previous kernel source you have from /usr/src
3) Install the kernel-source-2.0.3_2.0.30-7.deb package
4) Make sure there's a link
/usr/src/linux -> /usr/src/kernel-source-2.0.30
5) Follow the instructions in /usr/src/linux/README for building a new
kernel. Including the removes in /usr/include and subsequent logical
links.
6) Build a new kernel.
7) Test the new kernel. (Be sure and keep the old one around and some
method of booting it just in case).
8) Now install the pcmcia-cs stuff. I did NOT use a debian package. I
did it from the pcmcia distribution.
9) That's it. I was off to the races and the combo 33.6+10Mb Megahertz
PCMCIA card is working like a champ.
Well, I haven't really tried the modem, other than issuing a
few AT commands, but the ethernet part is working without a hitch. I
did have to edit the file /etc/pcmcia/network.opts manually, but it
was straightforward.
If you need help beyond the above drop me a note!
