Well, the problem is, I need the pcmcia_cs.o module for my laptop
NIC. The only package that includes that is the
pcmcia-modules-2.4.18-bf2.4 package, which, as its name implies,
requires the 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel.
Unfortunately, the bf2.4 kernel, being an installation kernel, is
pretty bloated. So I want to recompile and reinstall the package
2.4.18-bf2.4, instead of recompiling both 2.4.18-bf2.4 and all
the modules for cs-modules.
Am I nuts for doing this?
Thanks in advance,
Jesse Meyer
