PCMCIA slots were the laptop equivalent of the 'card slots' you get on PC motherboards, and just as with that situation, you could get PCMCIA cards to add almost any kind of interface to a compatible laptop, including PCMCIA ethernet cards and PCMCIA USB port cards - bear in mind though that USB wasn't really supported by Windows until about Win '98 SE though.

Any cards you try to plug in there will need the appropriate drivers for the OS, unfortunately.
