Sort of better.  If you have a older pcmcia card and plug it in you
can really screw things (original wavelan pcmcia card requires
isa interupts which you could force using the older drivers).  For modern
cards the new yenta_socket driver is not too bad, but nowhere as
flexible as the old driver.  

What you want is to disable kernel pcmcia support and re-add the
external kernel-pcmcia-cs package if the kernel ones don't work
for you.
