Ok, I think what I did was simply copy the downloaded files over the ones in
the kernel tree and recompile,

You modified the *links* in /usr/include. That's *evil*!!. What distribution
is this? /usr/include should have no links to kernel source. It should
contain the actual headers that glibc was compiled with, irrespective of
what version you are running.

Well, the kernel includes pcmcia these days, does it not? But yes, if you
have a version of pcmcia installed that does not match the one in the
kernel, you may get some stange results.

I'm using standard kernel pcmcia, default pcmcia debian package and the
orinoco_cs included in the standard kernel. I do think join copying over a
newer version is the best idea.
