I did a little experimenting with my laptop and LTSP server. First,
make sure that the pcmcia network card is supported by pcmcia-cs. You
will have to use an etherboot floppy because the network adaptor can not
have a boot rom. You will also have to use a special etherboot disk
that includes pcmcia-cs available from here:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ltsp/wireless_ltsp-3.0.3-i386.tgz?download
under the guise of wireless booting (yet another interesting
possibility) but I couldn't go further because my cards weren't
supported.
Good Luck.
