HD Install :: Floppy Disk Installation

hi
i'll go to buy a pcmcia ethernetcard for network installing.
in the tutorial, that was given (http://damnsmalllinux.org/wiki/index.php/Floppy_Only_Install_with_Netcard_%28Poormans_Install%29) is used a special distribution.
maybe the distribution hasn't got the drivers for that card.
now i wnat to ask, if there are other possibilities for netinstall, maybe per tftp, so i could use etherbootimages with the right drivers...

are there any possibilities and howto's??
