This is not quite accurate. What you need to do is install hotplug, which
should call ifup eth# when you plug in a new pcmcia card... In my setup,
I then use interface mappings for eth0 and eth1 (to differentiate between
my wired card and my wifi card). I can send you my mapping script (written
in ruby) if you want it.
