Thanks very much for your advice, Joey. At this point I've altered the
configuration files so much that I might have to reinstall debian to

Hardly, you just need to dpkg --force-depends --purge pcmcia-cs and then
reinstall it with apt.
, so I think I'll wait for the (imminent?) release
of sarge and then start over again. Assuming I'm able to configure the
card using only /etc/network/interfaces, would I also need to start the
interface from a console with ifup whenever I reboot? Just out of
curiosity, are you using woody, sarge, or sid?
I use all of the above.
pcmcia-cs takes care of bringing up interfaces when a card is inserted
and on boot, so you do not need to manually ifup them.
