Well... ifupdown package and pcmcia does not play nice. People has
preffered style and you need to know few things. I would recommends you
to read what Thomas Woods says in my "Debian Reference".
Due to recent Debian host issues, latest version is at:
http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ch-gateway.en.html
He recommends not to use pcmcia package to fool around and focus on
using hotplug etc.
I still see many people suggest hacking around /etc/pcmcia/* but this is
bad idea. I think 2.6 uses more hotplug features.
