[ en mass response ]
I want to thank everyone for their responses. Lemme address a few common questions:
1. I'm using 2.1.x because of some of the features we need (ipv6 tunneling) and because 2.2.x will be out before a year has passed. Since I will be maintainging these laptops, I don't want to have do a full install of a 2.2 flavor (going from 2.1 -> 2.2 is trivial, I'm sure).
2. Peter Breuer said something to the effect of "maybe the pcmcia utils pulled in a kernel include". Bingo! Or something to that effect. Doing a "make clean" inside the pcmcia dir doesn't actually clean them. I ended up /corrupting/ my copy of cardmgr this way[1].
3. Another person commented on Win95/98 and plug-n-plug. Yes, this had an effect, too. During my testing I moved the card from slot0 to slot1 and back again. Win98 DID INFACT play with some settings that remained on the card. I had to run the CARD'S install program to reset its values.[2] (btw, plug-n-play in my BIOS _HAS_ to be "on" for pcmcia cards to work. Is this normal?).
I want to thank everyone for their time. You had witnessed me going ballistic on this thing. Physically I was stamping on the floor, screaming and beating my dog. Thank you for taking my message as it was meant :)
[1] This was the actual problem. When I untarred the sources to pcmcia again and compiled & installed, it worked.
