My wireless setup broke as well when I upgraded to pcmcia-cs 3.2.4.  I just now fixed the problem.  The problem I had was that the computer would lock up requiring a hard reset everytime I plugged in my pcmcia wireless card.  I was reading the forums today and came across a mention of commenting out a memory address range in /etc/pcmcia/<something>.  I found that /etc/pcmcia/config.opts 
contains three memory ranges.  The line in question are:

include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff
include memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff, memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff

I systematically commented out each memory range in question and I find that the following works:

include memory 0xc0000-0xfffff
#include memory 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff
include memory 0x60000000-0x60ffffff

My computer no longer hangs with garbage on the screen when I plug in my wifi card.  In fact I am using the wifi card right now to submit this.
