That might not be cleanest/best way to do it, but that's what I use:
1) in net.eth0 I renamed "start" to "up", and "Stop" to "down" and added
new start() that just calls up and stop() that just calls down, and
opts="start stop restart up down".
2)I replaced content of the /etc/pcmcia/network with the following:
-----------------------------------
#! /bin/sh
#

action=$1
device=$2

case "${action:?}" in
"start" | "resume" )
	/etc/init.d/net.$2 up
	;;
"stop")
	/sbin/ifconfig $2 down
	;;
esac
-----------------------------------

Home this helps.
