I had to borrow a wirelass card (lucent chipset i believe) to do a presentation at college, and i just plugged it in in place of my normal pcmcia lan card and it worked perfectly. Im still to find a pcmcia network card (and ive tried many) that didnt just plug in and work with my laptop. As long as networking is configured (i find linuxconf most flexible and reliable) then everything should just work. This is true for me with both DHCP and static IP. You might find that the cards modules are auto loaded (they probably are) but you may have to do an 'ifup eth0' as root, as the pcmcia-cs package that shipped with 8.2 didnt autload everything properly.
