** DISCLAIMER - I AM A NEWBIE :-) ***
I think I had this same problem. What I found was that the networking
services were being started BEFORE the PCMCIA services. Look in
/etc/rcS.d - somewhere in there you should see something like SNNpcmcia
and SNNnetworking (NN being a two-digit number). If the NN on the
pcmcia symlink is higher than the NN on the networking symlink then the
networking is being started before the card services, which I think
explains why you can start manually after bootup, but not automatically
during bootup.
I fixed mine by changing the numbers in the filenames. I changed the
pcmcia symlink to S22pcmcia and the networking symlink to S40, and
everything seems to work fine.
There is a command-line tool for managing this stuff called
'update-rc.d", but I don't quite grok the syntax for it. Maybe some
veteran can chime in and enlighten us?
Good luck!!
