The way I've found to do a PCMCIA install most easily was 8 floppies:
2: standard boot+root
3: base.tgz 3 disk set
3: pcmcia-2.3.18_2.0.7.deb, then dpkg --split kernel-image_2.0.7
You can probably fit the last 3 onto 2, the pcmcia code is small and
kernel-image is only a little bit larger than one floppy. I could
only find the kernel-image_2.0.7 on master.debian.org in Incoming,
though, which implies that it should show up *somewhere* soon but may
be hard to find in the meantime. (You don't need special support for
pcmcia network cards in the kernel -- the pcmcia package ships with
the appropriate new modules (and everyone uses the 8390 anyway :-))
As for compiled-in ether cards: look in the "special-kernels"
directory with the boot disks for alternate boot disks; I don't know
if there is documentation other than the config files there to tell
you which one you want.
