I also run an updated sid with kernel 2.6.14-1-686, but cardmgr does bring eth0 
up after I changed /etc/pcmcia/network.opts.

I noticed that REFRAIN_FROM_IFUP (in /etc/default/pcmcia) doesn't matter: 
whether set to yes or no, or unset, the interface is brought up just the same.  
Before, the interface wasn't brought up, no matter its value.

Should I raise a bug or am I missing something here ?
