The pcmciaUtils udev rules failed to apply, as some paths were not replaced correctly. For example, the following udev line is in the source package:

SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", ENV{MODALIAS}=="?*", \
		RUN+="__UDEVHELPERDIR__/pcmcia-check-broken-cis"

The Makefile by default replaces the __UDEVHELPERDIR__ with ${prefix}/lib/udev, which is the wrong place on NixOS. To quickly set the correct path, just replace this placeholder string directly. With this patch, the udev rules can be applied, as it is done with hardware.pcmcia.enable. The files are referenced correctly and pcmcia works fine on real hardware.
