I think that I have now successfully installed a PCMCIA network card on my IBM 
thinkpad 380d.

I used the most recent copy of the potato boot disks. 

What I did find was that it was vital that the card was not plugged in during 
initial software installation. 
Only after you have completed the PCMCIA configuration should you plug in the 
card. Then when 
you come to configure the network, it recognises that you have a PCMCIA 
ethernet card,
and asks all the right questions.

Hope this helps someone.
