man 5 interfaces
e.g: My wireless card is eth1: (builtin ethernet is eth0)
/etc/network/interfaces has:
...
mapping eth1
script /etc/network/ifscheme
########################################################
# Home
iface eth1-home inet dhcp
wireless_nick toolbox
wireless_mode managed
wireless_essid blah
wireless_key 's:12345'
########################################################
# Others...
...
etc.
(for the ifscheme script, see http://bugs.debian.org/154444)
And it Just Works(tm), So, you can see that there is no difference between
using interfaces(5) for a builtin card, or a pcmcia card. The point is, that
network.opts does the magic of calling ifup or ifdown for you, if you leave
the configuration alone.
