I've teared my hair out during the last days with this and surrounding issues. I use a Xircom cardbus card, and the kernel (2.4.20) does not see it as a pcmcia, but a pci device, managed by hotplug. What I found out is this: I needed hotplug _and_ pci hotplug support in the kernel, IIRC (sorry, the whole thing was a bit confusing sometimes. In any case, I have now both compiled in and it works) '/etc/init.d/pcmcia start' must run to load the pcmcia core modules. Therefore, everything that needs a running network (e.g., /etc/init.d/mountnfs.sh) must run after pcmcia startup. (E.g., I had to move the mountnfs.sh runlevel link from /etc/rcS.d to /etc/rc3.d (my default runlevel) _after_ pcmcia) Remove the "auto eth0" (or whatever interface you use) from /etc/network/interfaces If you want eth0 to be brought up automatically on boot, and you run hotplug 0.0.20030117-2 or later, read /usr/share/doc/hotplug/README.Debian and/or http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2003/debian-devel-200303/msg00212.html
