I should hope so. Schemes are practically essential for a laptop that
has the opportunity to connect to several different networks depending
on its location.

If you can develop your tool so that running
toolname pcmcia <device> <scheme>
(or something similar) will correctly configure the system to talk to
the network through <device> (say eth0) according to the specified
scheme, then I don't see why it won't work with the PCMCIA stuff.
