pcmciautils was installed by aptitude.  "properly" is the key word.  
/etc/init.d/pcmcia was still present.  Removing /etc/init.d/pcmcia 
solves the problem.  Could not removing /etc/init.d/pcmcia be considered 
a bug with the pcmciautils package?

Moving forward:

sudo ifup wlan0 gives me:

paul at lighter:~$ sudo ifup wlan0
FATAL: Module p80211 not found.
Failed to load p80211.o.
run-parts: /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/linux-wlan-ng-pre-up exited with 
return code 1

I am running a stock 2.6.16-1-486 kernel.  The card which doesn't work 
is a Linksys WPC11 version 4.

If the next error above is not relevant to my bug report I am willing to 
call 367328 closed.

Thanks,

Paul
