What should I do here?
I'm no pcmcia guru, but try /usr/src/linux/include/pcmcia. Or /usr/src/linux/drivers/pcmcia. > If someone can help me here, I can try to compile this.

Can > anyone tell me if I need to copy it too? No point in copying it, it will be used in the compilation. The # means that that line is dealt with by the C preprocessor. Effectively before compiling that file, it will include the contents of kern_compat.h in it, to benefit from it's declarations. This is basically to avoid having everything in one file, and to enable files to share declarations. Ironically the line above it _is_ commented out (that's the //).
