Would the PCMCIA package come from Slack 7.1 or Slack 4.0?  pcmcia.tgz
from 7.1 (a11) is 601KB, while the one from 4.0 is 465KB.  And I suppose
tcpip1.tgz is going to be needed as well, as it was for BL2?  I recall it
needing several commands not included in busybox, or it not being
satisfied with the busybox versions.  Not sure when I might do some
testing with it, but I might find some time and energy in the next couple
of weeks.
