I call that a workaround.  It is counter intuitive to set something NOT
to run on boot and yet have it run on boot.  Besides if you tell it you
want it to run on boot and you mark it as such it fails to run.

That is a bug.  And on the off chance you do have multiple pcmcia
network interfaces you have use another workaround to choose which card
you want to have run at boot, namely pull the card you don't want to
have running.  All of that is a workaround, not a fix or correct
configuration.
