pcmcia-cs dilemma

[Vern W Heesch]

Well that bites. If I understand it all correctly then I can only have 
pcmcia-cs used on one kernel, no matter how many kernels revs I have on my 
machine. That means each time I want to use a different kernel on my system I 
have to uninstall and reinstall pcmcia-cs? Seems there must be a way. Oh well.
