You need to edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts, to make it use ifupdown; it refers to it as "Debian's network setup". Basically, you need to make sure all the variables in that file are either empty or set to "n". Why this isn't the default, I've no idea. (Be sure not to forget the 'auto eth0:0' line in /etc/network/intefaces).
