The kernel source should contain the source code for all the drivers currently 
supported by that kernel, pcmcia included.

For example, in this MDK box:

[me at here home]$ rpm -ql kernel-source-2.4.19-32mdk | grep -i pcmcia | wc
    130     130    7320
[me at here home]$ 

That is, there's 130 files inside the kernel/source. So most probably you can 
just keep going ahead at full speed.

Good luck and see you at TriLUG!
