From what you write later, it sounds like this is incorrect.  Here is
the structure I use:

/usr/src -+- kernel-source-$VERSION -+- Documentation ...
          |                          +- drivers ...
	  |			     +- (etc)
          |
          +- linux -> kernel-source-$VERSION
	  |
          +- modules -+- pcmcia-cs-$VERSION

I've never had a problem with this, since /usr/include/linux/include
is no longer a symlink to /usr/src/linux/include.  I usually have
multiple versions of kernel-source lying around; just setting the
symlink usuall make everything work fine.

This is very old, I think; PCMCIA-CS is up to about 3.1.20 by now.
Get it from the Debian unstable.  There's no reason not to, Debian
makes very few changes to PCMCIA-CS except to add the stuff in
debian/, so the Debian unstable part is pretty irrelevant.

Once you learn it, you'll be able to do it in the future.  It's very
useful, because many PCMCIA bugs disappear once you compile the PCMCIA
modules against your own kernel configuration.
