Hmm, that's a bit odd.  It's usually there automatically, just waiting to be
edited.  Are you sure you have pcmcia-cs fully installed?  That's the
control programs for pcmcic cards (you also need the kernel modules from
pcmcia-modules, but that's a separate package), and creates
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts.

There's also utility program out there somewhere I think, which helps create
the file, but I can never remember what the utility is called (probably
/usr/sbin/pcnetconfig).  Anyway, editing by hand is easy enough once you
have the default file from pcmcia-cs.
