There is no reason to mix these two configuration methods. Either
conigure that interface entirely using /etc/pcmcia/network.opts and
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts, or do it entirely using
/etc/network/interfaces (see /usr/share/doc/wireless-tools/README.Debian).
What you're trying to do might work, but I got lost in 700 lines of
grody shell code trying to figure out if it would. As good a reason as
any to avoid the pcmcia scripts entirely and use only
/etc/network/interfaces.
# pcmcia card, possibly wireles
