While you might have a different setup, several months ago I did a, I
think floppy, network install over a PCMCIA network card. It took
several trys.
When configuring the PCMCIA card I had to set.
PCIC="i82365"
PCIC_OPTS="irq_mode=0"
Later in the install, when configuring the network I think, it asked
me if I was using a PCMCIA card, answering YES caused the install to
fail. I did the install again and answering no worked well.
After the install, and after updating the kernel the PCMCIA card
stopped working again with missing symbols in the kernel. I edited
the /etc/default/pcmcia to nat have any PCIC_OPTS and set
PCIC="yenta_socket" and it works well to this day.
This was months ago, so the memory is a bit fuzzy with a few points.
It took many tries to get the install to finally work.
