It is a stupid problem! :) Go to the main menu and select: System Settings --> Network, then edit your interface. There will be a check box that says something like Activate device when computer starts. Make sure that box is NOT checked for pcmcia network cards. <rant> The network startup code needs to be modified to look for pcmcia cards and set a flag if they are marked to be activated when the computer starts. Then when the pcmcia services start and it sees a network card it needs to check that flag and start the card if it is checked. This would resolve this problem once and for all. If this is not done this will continue to be a problem. </rant> Had to get that off my chest, again! -- Scot L. Harris <webid@xxxxxxxxxx>
