/etc/dhclient-enter-hooks is a bash script which is invoked by dhclient.
dhclient defines a few variables that can be used within this script to
do some pretty handy stuff.

Your /etc/dhclient-enter-hooks script may look something like

#!/bin/sh

if [ x$reason = xFAIL ] || [ x$reason = xTIMEOUT ]; then
    /etc/init.d/pcmcia stop
fi

man dhclient-script, for more information ofcourse :)
