pcmcia token ring card problems or how to compile a module?

i have a pcmcia token ring ibm card. i run 2.6.23-ARCH kernel. I know that the correct  module is ibmtr_cs (from a previous distribution). When i trie to modprobe ibmtr_cs it tells me that  the module doesn't exist. Searching my system i found that in /usr/src/linux-2.6.23-ARCH/include/linux/ibmtr.h there is something like a module... Does this mean that i have to compile my own kernel? in this case how can i do it? is it possible to compile only the module?
thanks nik

Maybe you only have to compile that module, for your kernel, instead of a whole kernel recompile? On how to do that, I don't know, sorry.

Maybe someone else knows.
