Thanks again for all your help. I'll try to tackle it this weekend. With
any luck debian will soon be my main os.

Thanks very much for your advice, Joey. At this point I've altered the
configuration files so much that I might have to reinstall debian to
straighten things out
Hardly, you just need to dpkg --force-depends --purge pcmcia-cs and then
reinstall it with apt.
, so I think I'll wait for the (imminent?) release
of sarge and then start over again. Assuming I'm able to configure the
card using only /etc/network/interfaces, would I also need to start the
interface from a console with ifup whenever I reboot? Just out of
curiosity, are you using woody, sarge, or sid?
I use all of the above.
pcmcia-cs takes care of bringing up interfaces when a card is inserted
and on boot, so you do not need to manually ifup them.
