PCMCIA cards and linux

I've got an incredibly old laptop that I would like to turn into a thin client for my lounge. The problem is that it's got no network connectivity and only a floppy drive. I'm thinking of buying a PCMCIA ethernet card and CD-ROM drive for the machine. But I'm wary of buying something that won't work with Linux.

Has anyone got any recommendations for PCMCIA ethernet cards and/or CD-ROMs that will work with Linux?
