I had following problems with the network script from pcmcia-cs: 1.the config file network.opts offers an option for the functions start_fn() ans stop_fn() (which I use to start/stop my onboard nic if I insert my wirelss card). But in the network script these functions won´t be called if an pcmcia device is inserted or ejected (in the original network script they will be called). 2. If my wlan card is inserted while rebooting/shutdown the system i became a message that the device isn`t running, if cardmgr tries to stop the device. Through this message it seems that the root filesystem isn`t cleanly unmounted,because on next boot i become the message that the root filesystem wasn`t cleanly unmounted. To solve these problems i have readd the nessary lines for the start/stop_fn functions and i have add some lines to stop the network device only if the device is running. it seems that all pcmcia-cs ebuilds >=3.2.5-r1 have this "problem" I have attached the diff of my changes in the network script

The start_fn() and stop_fn() functionality is generalized under Gentoo - you use the preup(), postup(), predown() and postdown() functions in /etc/conf.d/net.
