For PCMCIA network cards (and I'm writing this from a laptop with one)
you shouldn't have an eth0 interface stanza in /etc/network/interfaces,
but should instead use /etc/pcmcia/network.opts (which is well
documented internally). This way debian will skip the interface on boot
and bring it up when you insert the PCMCIA card.
