the ifup and ifdown scripts are afaik not called upon insertion of a
pcmcia card.

Yes, if you are configuring a pcmcia-card, you should indeed put it's
config options in the network.opt file.
In your case dhcp="yes"
If there si no buildin network device on your laptop (meanign that the
network pcmcia-card will eb assigned to eth0) then remove all lines from
the /etc/network/interfaces file (or uncomment them with # ).
Your pcmcia-config will configure and bring up eth0 in that case.
success!
