newbie: net install via wireless PC card?



I am trying to install Debian (woody) on an old Thinkpad 560.  I have
created the rescue, boot and drivers1-4 floppies.

My only means of loading stuff on to the laptop are the floppy drive and
wireless card.  I would like to do a network install.  The problem is I
can't get the system to recognize the card or install the drivers.

The wireless card is an ATMEL/RFMD chipset PCMCIA card.  How do I make the
drivers avialable so I can do a newtork install of Debian 3.0?  Can I get
the drivers to show up in the 'Configure Device Driver Modules' -> 'net'
menu?

here are some more specs on the card:

This is my first Linux installation, so the simpler the solution the better.
