I think he said it was not ide-cs, actually.

On this topic, how did you compile the kernel to support PCMCIA?

I don't see PCMCIA in your .config file, and David's 2.4.31 kernel 
and modules also don't include PCMCIA anywhere.

According to one website there is a a CONFIG_PCMCIA which I am told to 
disable if I want to compile the PCMCIA modules.  But the .help file for 
2.4.31 has questions about CONFIG_PCMCIA_APA1480 etc. (five of them). 
Say Y if you intend to attach this type of PCMCIA SCSI host adaptor to 
your computer.  How would I know what type of PCMCIA slot the laptops or 
the desktop have?  Should I answer Y to all of them? Or M?  Is this 
unrelated?

Where do I get the source code for the modules and how do I compile 
those for this kernel, or are they kernel independent? Can I use the ones 
from BL3.40 with 2.4.31 kernel?

It would be convenient to access the USB camera and the PCMCIA modem 
or network card without rebooting to another kernel.
