If you use the pcmcia.img image file, you can install on a laptop, configure
your nic, and install over NFS, FTP or HTTP.
This is the image you would want to use if you have no CDROM in your laptop,
and you need to access the ISO files using your pcmcia network controller.
Although if you have a CDROM drive in a laptop, you would use the standard
boot.img and configure your laptop.
This is redhat 6.2 im talking here, I don't know if its changed with 7.0
Cheers,
Stephen

Subject: [SLUG] pcmcia network install
I wanted to install Linux on a laptop with pcmcia networking
and a floppy drive (no CDROM). My only option seems to be a
network installation.
I looked at Redhat's boot images - their pcmcia and network install
versions seem to be mutually exclusive.
Is there a distro that combines pcmcia with networked installation
on a boot image?
Regards,
Sonam
