[BusyBox] busybox + PCMCIA ?

Hey Everyone;

I don't recall seeing any traffic of this nature, so I thought I would
ask:  Is anyone using Busybox on a PCMCIA-enabled system?

My goals are as follows:
1) small kernel (no modules)
2) PCMCIA support
3) busybox-based root disk
4) devfs
5) PCMCIA-based NIC (RangeLAN .. ugh) is inserted, recognized.

I'm wanting to keep my system under 1.44M, since I try to use floppies
for a lot of stuff, and I'm stumped on this one that has its whole world
behind a PCI1250 (PCI1230? very common TexasI device) PCMCIA bridge, and
it's finding the bridge (yenta is active) but no devices beyond it.

I can't play with this toy much longer, it has to go back to its
rightful owners, and I want to be very complete it what resources and
devices I "see" :)

I admit to little or no PCMCIA knowledge in the small footprint arena. 
I'm wondering if I *need* to have a card services daemon active, and
whether busybox has anything that would help.

I appreciate any input.  Thanks everyone.
