The dhcp client's init.d script should check for whether you are using pcmcia or not. The recent pcmcia scripts now use /etc/network/interfaces to control the IP information just like a non-laptop computer does. At the bottom of /etc/pcmcia/network.opts should be a section that tries to run 'log ifup'.
