In your network configuration options turn off the start at boot option. Apparently since network services is started before the pcmcia a pcmcia network card will not be started correctly if you tell it to start at boot. But here is the kicker, apparently when the pcmcia services do start the system detects the card and starts it anyway. So by telling it not to start at boot it actually will start at boot. It worked on my laptop and apparently worked for some others. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx Of course there's no reason for it, it's just our policy.
