There was an issue with the previous tip since the option was not being passed down to the individual module compilation steps. The SVN has been updated accordingly. Please check the INSTALL files in both the user and kernel directories regarding PCMCIA support and let know if you have any issues. You can see the changes here <https://sourceforge.net/p/linux-gpib/code/1873/>.
