I grabbed "pcmcia-cs.16-Jan-98.tar.gz" (which untars itself as 3.0.0)
and it compiled up just fine for me under 2.1.82 and in a native
glibc-2.0.6 environment. If an instance of "pci_irq" hadn't escaped a
CONFIG_CARDBUS #ifdef I wouldn't have had to touch the code at all.

I haven't seen it trip over any kernel problems yet, but time will tell.
