Linux-wlan install breaks Fedora test2 pcmcia

After installing linux-wlan on Fedora test2 (Vaio R505TS ACPI Laptop),
pcmcia breaks with the following upon startup:

[root at localhost linux-wlan-ng-0.2.1-pre12]# /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
Starting PCMCIA services: modulesmodprobe: Can't locate module pcmcia_core.o
modprobe: Can't locate module yenta_socket.o
modprobe: Can't locate module ds.o
 cardmgr.

In /var/log/messages:
Oct  2 23:35:42 localhost cardmgr[8783]: starting, version is 3.1.31
Oct  2 23:35:42 localhost cardmgr[8783]: no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices
Oct  2 23:35:42 localhost cardmgr[8783]: exiting

I am using pre12 in this example but I have tried other versions of the
linux-wlan code and the result of breaking pcmcia has been the same.  Any
help would be appreciated as to how to get the driver working, or how to
get my old pcmcia working.  Re-ran depmod -a.  Also rebooted.  To compile
linux-wlan drivers, they require that you have the pcmcia source on the
system and configured, I downloaded 3.1.22 and threw it in /usr/src/ and
ran make config on it.
