Tom, To utilize the pcmcia network card, you can use the ltsp_wireless package. It contains drivers for all of the linux supported pcmcia network cards (including wired).
But, you'll have to boot the laptop from some local media, such as a floppy or a flash disk. We're working on making flash disks available for laptops. one of the added benefits of NOT having a harddrive is you will see increased battery life, if you are using batteries.
