Just got the exact thing you're looking for working today. Built the PCMCIA tools statically using uClibc along with a static version of BusyBox 0.60.1 using uClibc also. I compiled the driver for the network card I'm using into the kernel, but you could leave it modular and still have it work and supply most (or all) of the PCMCIA network card modules on the floppy. Don't know what the size requirements for that would be.
