You can build the clients from the standalone package if you want.  If
you are using the kernel modules and configure pcmcia-cs as normal, a
"make install" will build and install no modules, but if you then cd
to the clients or wireless subdirectory, an explicit "make install"
there will build and install a set of clients that will work with the
kernel modules.

Not that I know of.

If you wish, that should be fine...
