With 2.4.0 thru 2.4.1-pre8 (could possibly be sooner than 2.4.0)

PCMCIA_CONFIG_NETCARD is getting defined with CONFIG_PCMCIA, even when no
PCMCIA net cards are selected:

    458 # PCMCIA network device support
    459 #
    460 CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA=y
    461 # CONFIG_PCMCIA_NETCARD is not set

This causes the nonexistant drivers/net/pcmcia/pcmcia_net.o to try to be
linked. It looks like this is hepenning because CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA is
defined, but then CONFIG_PCMCIA_NETCARD is defined elsewhere.

A patch is attached.
