In fact, I think (maybe I'm wrong) that pcmcia boot is not possible.
Instead the kernel is loaded locally (from the wireless_ltsp
floppyimage) and then the laptop takes connection to the LTSP-server.
Works easily, no confing needed. Only thing is it takes uite a long time
to boot from the floppy. That can be fixed by putting the wireless_ltsp
-package on the HD. I managed to do it, so it can't be too hard :)
