If you try to boot via network, you could try to use gPXE - if you are
lucky, it has support for your network card (it supports very many
cards). gPXE can then load kernel and initrd via network (NFS, tftp,
http, ftp, whatever you like). gPXE usually fits on a floppy, even with
network drivers included.
I don't think gPXE supports PCMCIA network cards. Leave all that, what
am I supposed to do to initialize the PCMCIA card?
look like you're right about gPXE:
http://www.etherboot.org/wiki/pcmcia_support
But that page also mentions:
"If you are http://www.ltsp.org LTSP user, look at the LTSP “wireless”
packages at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=17723
That package contains a floppy image that can be used to boot off
wireless or wirebound PCMCIA network cards (probably other wireless
[=NICs=] as well). "
Maybe you can find something in the LTSP website/archives...
