The posts I have seen do not indicate a problem with pcmcia directly, 
but rather with activating network interface before the pcmcia service 
is started..

OTOH, there is an apparent conflict with the network and pcmcia.   Most 
have had good luck in getting pcmcia to work at boot time *and* load the 
network by setting the network config for the pcmcia adapter to NOT load 
at boot.  When the pcmcia services start later the network interface is 
activated anyway.  If the network interface is activated first it seems 
to prevent proper initialization of the pmmcia card.
