] So you will have to recompile PCMCIA and reinstall it.

More specifically, you will need pcmcia-cs version 2.8.22, available
from hyper.stanford.edu in pub/pcmcia.  Redhat does things a little
differently from Dave Hinds, but if you install it and fiddle with the
config files in /etc/pcmcia things should work.  You'll need your
entire kernel source tree to build pcmcia-cs.
