Probably. The pcmcia-cs (card services software) needs to be compatible with the pcmcia-modules package (which itself is built for a specific kernel version). You can upgrade your kernel to 2.0.29 or 30 and use the pcmcia-modules for that kernel, or you can build your own pcmcia-modules packages from the sources in pcmcia-source. > The only problem is that I do not know how to proceed despite the advice > given, that (using) dselect should do the rest of the upgrade to Debian > 1.3. dselect has various "access methods" to get to the packages, such as a CD and an FTP one. > What should I do now ?

You can mix them, up to a certain extent; Debian's dependency mechanism will prevent most (ideally: all) bad mixes. > Without having an internet connection it is practically impossible to copy > all those packages one by one --> floppy --> disk. If you have a good (cheap & fast) network connection, it is probably best to get your network up (see above), and then upgrade fully to 1.3.1 using the FTP access method.
