PCMCIA cards get their drivers from the pcmcia-modules, a different source
tree.  You can disable the ethernet card section in the normal kernel.

Get:

kernel-package
pcmcia-source
some kernel-source

do:

make menuconfig (or whatever like normal)
make-kpkg kernel_image
make-kpkg modules_image

install the resulting two debs (kernel_image and pcmcia-modules).
