Is in-kernel support required or forbidden

[John O'Hagan]

Hi,

I'm trying to install the Debian pcmcia-source package so I can have the 
latest drivers for my kernel-version 2.6.11. If in-kernel PCMCIA support is 
enabled, the package build fails; the buildlog says:

         ** Your kernel is configured with PCMCIA driver support.  Therefore,
         ** 'make all' will compile the PCMCIA utilities but not the drivers.
         ** See README-2.4 if this is not what you intended!

         IMPORTANT NOTE FOR DEBIAN USERS:
         This means that a pcmcia-modules package will not be built.


And if kernel support for PCMCIA is disabled, the build fails as follows:

         2.5.0 and later kernels require that PCMCIA be configured in the
         kernel source tree.  To fix, reconfigure and rebuild your
         kernel with PCMCIA enabled

Does this mean the package is unbuildable, or have I misunderstood these 
messages?

Thanks,
