I'm not using my laptop at the moment, so I don't have the exact script
handy, but I have to do something similar to get my wireless card to behave.
I made an init script containing (IIRC) ``cardctl eject && cardctl insert''
or something similar and gave it a fairly late priority (S90 or so) so that
it gets called after the networking and pcmcia initscripts have run.
