this is my /etc/pcmcia/network.opts

is_true $PUMP || is_true $BOOTP || is_true $DHCP || is_true $DHCLIENT || \
if [ ! "$IPADDR" -a -f /etc/network/interfaces ] ; then
INFO="Debian network setup"
start_fn () {
log /sbin/ifup $1
}
stop_fn () {
log /sbin/ifdown $1
}
fi
all of the work is done in /etc/network/interfaces.
I moved a lot of the init script to later in the boot process to accomodate
pcmcia and moved pcmcia up a bit. update-rc.d is your friend.
