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.
