I compiled a new kernel http://keesan.freeshell.org/bl/2.4.31/bzimagpc.431
with PCMCIA support.

configpc.431 - no sound, minimal sci, no framebuffer, and no MTRR, MDA, 
video_select, ISA, USB keyboard or mouse.  About 70K smaller (600K) 
despite adding PCMCIA and hotplug (needed to get PCMCIA).

Use it with cardmgr-SW10.2 (from Slackware) with Slackware 8.1 glibc 
(libc6 and ld-linux, included in my operalib.tgz package).

Works with the modules I compiled for my larger non-PCMCIA kernel (which 
are smaller than the ones provided by Slackware - 11099 vs 13866 K for 
ppp_generic.o.gz, for example) because I used an older compiler.

I included serial_cs ide-cs and smc91c92_cs and other network etc. 
modules in my package:  pcmcia-431.tgz , now uploading.
(along with kernel and config and cardmgr)

Slackware 10.2 pcmcia package does not contain the modules (despite 
README), they are in the regular modules package.  All I used from thre 
was cardmgr.  You can copy their config if you have 55K free, which should 
support EXP Multimedia PCMCIA card.
