1) there is a debian-laptop mailing list. 2) you need to recompile pcmcia whenever you either a) enable or disable apm b) change kernel versions c) realize a pcmcia module needs a kernel module you left out this happens for pcmcia cdroms, scsi devices, etc you did it right, the problem is dpkg is a little goofy about how it handles the depends. Easiest solution is to remove the pcmcia-modules package, install the kernel, then install the new pcmcia modules package.
