Default Fedora and PCMCIA support - upgrade kernel?

Hi folks,

I've read that the kernel in Fedora Core 1 has issues with PCMCIA, and
after doing a full install on my laptop, I found this to be true as it
doesn't recognize any PCMCIA device.

Earlier this week, I upgraded RH9 to Fedora C1 on this laptop, and all
went well, but several components didn't install, which caused many
apps to not compile properly... so I went ahead and did a full
install. Now, nothing PCMCIA works.

So, is there a patch for the 2.4.22 kernel that'll get this working,
or should I upgrade to 2.6 test? Also, I've never done a full-on
kernel install, so are there any sites that'll guide me through this?
I've recompiled many times, but never a full install of a newer kernel
or patch.

Thanks for any advice, and take care.

Alex.
