The kernels we build using kernel PCMCIA modules with cardmgr and 
cardctl from the pcmcia-cs package.

The list of supported devices is in the wiki at 
http://www.handhelds.org/z/wiki/IpaqHardwareCompatibility.

You can check 2.4.7-rmk3-np1 out from CVS by using cvs checkout -r 
K2_4_7-rmk3-np1-hh13  (devfs was not part of a kernel version -- it was 
a kernel build configuration) or you can pick up a compressed tarball 
from ftp://ftp.handhelds.org/pub/linux/kernel.  We have some linux 
kernel versions as patches in that directory.
