I am puzzled that your are talking about /dev/hdc4 /mnt/floppy when you are saying that your network card is not working.
As I recall, the trick with the IOMega zip drive was to configure printer support as a module (lp), since that has to be loaded after the modules for the zip drive. That was the only trick as far at the kernel, I believe. I don't see how that will interfere with your floppy drive or your network card. The CONFIG_DEV_IDEFLOPPY is not required for floppies. Maybe unset that and your floppy will work.
