where do I find pcmcia Xircom IIps drivers?

I've been using the stable Debian distribution with my Toshiba Satellite CDT230, with no problems (well, with few problems) for a few months now. To enable sound and APM, though, I guess need to compile my own kernel. But when I compile the kernel, I don't see the xircom ii ps module that I need

How do I set samba permissions?
