It should be made clear in section 7.5, "Configure PCMCIA Support", that configuring PCMCIA is, alone, enough to get a PCMCIA ethernet card working. I spent several hours trying to figure out how to insert the module for my PCMCIA ethernet adapter on my laptop into the installation kernel before I simply tried configuring the network. :) Perhaps change last sentence, second paragraph from "However, if you are installing by way of a PCMCIA network device, this alternate must be selected, and PCMCIA support must be configured prior to configuring the network" to "However, if you are installing by way of a PCMCIA network device, this alternate must be selected, and PCMCIA support must be configured prior to configuring the network. This alternate step is sufficient to load the device driver for a PCMCIA ethernet card." Or similar.
