Make sure that you don't have an "auto" entry for the interface in
/etc/network/interfaces. If you do, the system is trying to bring up the
interface before the pcmcia services are started and as a result the
interface is in a misconfigured state when pcmcia starts and tries to
bring it up. Thus, you have to take it down and back up to correct
things. If you simply remove the "auto" entry, the interface will be
brought up when pcmcia starts.
