You should also take note of whether pcmcia support is compiled into 
your kernel.  If it is, the pcmcia-cs modules (David Hind?) are not 
used, and everything goes through /etc/network/interfaces

(for example)
iface eth0 inet dhcp


and not through /etc/pcmcia/network.opts



I have my Xircom support compiled in.  For example:

# PCMCIA/CardBus support
#
CONFIG_PCMCIA=y
CONFIG_CARDBUS=y
# CONFIG_I82092 is not set
CONFIG_I82365=y
# CONFIG_TCIC is not set

...

# PCMCIA network device support
#
CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA=y
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_3C589 is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_3C574 is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_FMVJ18X is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_PCNET is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_AXNET is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_NMCLAN is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_SMC91C92 is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_XIRC2PS is not set
# CONFIG_ARCNET_COM20020_CS is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_IBMTR is not set
CONFIG_PCMCIA_XIRCOM=y
CONFIG_PCMCIA_XIRTULIP=m
CONFIG_NET_PCMCIA_RADIO=y
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_RAYCS is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_NETWAVE is not set
# CONFIG_PCMCIA_WAVELAN is not set
# CONFIG_AIRONET4500_CS is not set
