Yes. Do not startup networking except for lo in /etc/init.d/networking, by setting 'auto' flag. This is even better. Use hotplug mechanism to start it. So I suggest even to disable default /etc/pcmcia/networking.opt 's behavior of "ifup eth0" run from script by disabling last part of script by commenting them out.
