you do not need to recompile the whole kernel, just the modules you
need.
in your menuconfig go into "Bus Options" and choose pcmcia support, with
whatever options you need for your hardware.
Then and only then will the right things appear under Device
drivers/Networking Support, there will be a section for pcmcia drivers.
Choose the NE2000 compatible one, and it will build pcnet_cs (according
to what you read under Help anyway)
