Check the order that the "pcmcia" and "network" services are started (by looking at the SXXpcmcia and SYYnetwork links in the /etc/rc5.d/ dir, if we can assume that you boot to run level 5). If XX > YY, then the system is trying to bring up the network before the pcmcia devices have been initialized. If this is what's going on, rename one of the links so that YY is a higher number than XX.
