Don't be silly. just purge the packages in question, and reinstall them.
You'll get the standard default configs then.
apt-get --purge remove <package>
apt-get install <package>

No. the pcmcia scripts will call ifup/ifdown whenever a card is
inserted/removed, and it deems the card is a network device. For this to
work, you must make sure there is no 'auto' line for that device in
/etc/network/interfaces.
