Hi

I had the same problem!

I tried to put pcmcia in S with the order 40, that didn't solve the problem!
Same with the order 35!!!

Then I realized that my pcmcia wifi card requires the loading of a firmware by
hotplug (atmel chip), thus pcmcia has to be started after hotplug otherwise it
takes some time to load the firmware and result in the non-sync of the clock as
the boot process continues. Moreover networking is started in the runlevel 40
the same as pcmcia, that means if I put pcmcia in S with the order 40 that won't
work because networking will be started before pcmcia!
Then I got it working by putting pcmcia in S with the order 40 (update-rc pcmcia
start 40 S . stop 88 0 6 . ) and I modified the order of networking: 41 instead
of 40 (update-rc.d networking start 41 S . start 35 0 6 . ).

I think you have to take into account the fact that some pcmcia cards require
the intervention of hotplug to work.
