There is a howto on PCMCIA and kernel 2.4 here: 

http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/README-2.4

Haven't read it, but skimmed the first paragraph, and it seems that
pcmcia is built into the kernel now, not a seperate package. 

Also, from about half way down:
o There is a somewhat serious API issue with the new "PCI hot plug"
  interface used by the new tulip and 3c59x drivers.  It is unable to
  pass device name information to cardmgr, so the PCMCIA configuration
  scripts don't work.  Fixing this properly is non-trivial, because
  the new API is not intended to be tightly linked to the PCMCIA card
  control interface at all.  A substitute for that interface, but for
  PCI hot plug, has not really been sketched out yet.


anyway - haven;t read it - may be usefull.
