If that is the problem then in the Network GUI mark that card NOT to
start at boot time.

<insert rant #36 here>

Under FC2 this was a real problem.  When the system boots any pcmcia
network card will be started when pcmcia services start up even if it is
marked NOT to start at boot time.  

If you do have it marked to start at boot time it won't start.  It will
get all confused because network services tries to start it but the
underlying pcmcia service is not up yet.  So it fails and usually hangs
itself.
