Deliberate. Old versions of pcmcia-cs used a hard coded insmod from
/lib/modules/`uname -r`/pcmcia. Newer versions use modprobe and do not
care where the module is stored. The pcmcia directory is a migration
aid and will disappear after kernel 2.4.1. All entries under pcmcia
should be symlinks anyway.
