yes, try PCIC=yenta_socket
lookup the kernel config - should be mentioned somewhere (grep yenta).

Starting with pcmcia-cs 3.1.25, a clean install will identify Debian
systems and create a special network.opts file that, in the absence of other
network configuration settings, uses Debian's ifup and ifdown commands to
configure a network card based on settings in /etc/network/interfaces."
Debian's syslog configuration will place kernel messages in /var/log/messages
and cardmgr messages in /var/log/daemon.log.
My experience was, getting the latest original standalone source package and
recompiling the modules worked better than anything precompiled or inbuilt.
Note: The pcmcia-cs (tools) Configure script looks up the kernel-option
CONFIG_PCMCIA; if this is enabled = set to "y" the Configure script refuse to
start compiling. You see, it's exclusive.

Great stuff, SELinux ! Good luck to this.
