I haven't looked at Debian's pcmcia startup script.
But I think you could comment out any lines that update the inittab and
restart it. Something like:
# echo "S$NR:12345:respawn:$INITTAB $DEVICE" >> /etc/inittab
# telinit q
Or is there some variable (maybe $INITTAB) that is checked? If so, maybe
comment out the lines that define it.
Hope this helps...
