I'm not a PCMCIA guru but as I think when modem is on PCMCIA card line in
/etc/inittab should be only when this modem is in slot. And as I know this
is what (among other things) pcmcia-modules package does. It loads any
needed modules into kernel, inserts apropriate lines in configuration
files and restarts all neded daemons. And when card is disconnected it
works just in opposite way.
Just consult any linux-pcmcia-user (I'll try to speak about it with my
friend which works with such configuration).
