Is there some reason you don't want or can't get the PCMCIA network card working with your current kernel first? Unless it is an esoteric, new, unsupported card, the issues you'll need to resolve are the same with the new or old kernel, so you might as well solve them first. Then you can skip the hassle of doing the kernel upgrade from floppy.
