It is clear that,
(1) your config has CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA, and appears to be ok
(2) your linux/Makefile is correct, as the link statement includes
pcmcia_net.o

So that leaves us with drivers/net/Makefile and
drivers/net/pcmcia/Makefile.

drivers/net/Makefile is a potential problem source, perhaps the
following change is not in your arch tree:
	subdir-$(CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA) += pcmcia

If that statement exists in drivers/net/Makefile, you need to run a
kernel build, and start staring at make output to see exactly why it is
not building.
