Ok. It's been a while since I've had any PCMCIA devices, so I can't be too much help here I'm afraid. But I can at least give you some ideas. For starters, what you might want to look into is modifying /etc/modules to have your generic PCMCIA and network card modules loaded at boot. Alternately, you could change the boot order for PCMCIA support so that it gets loaded BEFORE the network devices are configured. (This would be done by changing the rc symlinks.) You could try installing hotplug and see if it will handle your PCMCIA devices as well since I know that hotplug gets called before the network interfaces get configured. Finally, you can check if there's a way to have the PCMCIA support automatically configure your network interface for you. Some sort of scripts that automatically get run when PCMCIA detects a device perhaps? (This sounds more like a hotplug thing, but I'm not sure just where the hotplug/PCMCIA distinction lies.)
