next time you can search it that way:
Code:
# egrep -ire " ds\.o" /usr/src/linux/Documentation/ 
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help:  and ds.o.  If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and


then you can just read the file with nano and look up wich option is enabling/producing the *.o file you need:
Code:
PCMCIA/CardBus support
CONFIG_PCMCIA
  Say Y here if you want to attach PCMCIA- or PC-cards to your Linux
  computer.  These are credit-card size devices such as network cards,
  modems or hard drives often used with laptops computers.  There are
  actually two varieties of these cards: the older 16 bit PCMCIA cards
  and the newer 32 bit CardBus cards.  If you want to use CardBus
  cards, you need to say Y here and also to "CardBus support" below.

  To use your PC-cards, you will need supporting software from David
  Hinds' pcmcia-cs package (see the file <file:Documentation/Changes>
  for location).  Please also read the PCMCIA-HOWTO, available from
  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.

  This driver is also available as a module ( = code which can be
  inserted in and removed from the running kernel whenever you want).
  When compiled this way, there will be modules called pcmcia_core.o
  and ds.o.  If you want to compile it as a module, say M here and
  read <file:Documentation/modules.txt>.


or if you have build the module and you don't know where it belongs, then maybe this can help:
Code:
# find /lib/modules/$(uname -r) -iname "ds.o" -exec modinfo {} \;
filename:    /lib/modules/2.4.22-ck1/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/ds.o
description: "PCMCIA Driver Services 3.1.22"
author:      "David Hinds <dahinds@users.sourceforge.net>"

filename:    /lib/modules/2.4.22-ck1/pcmcia/ds.o
