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. -- Scot L. Harris webid@xxxxxxxxxx When the going gets tough, everyone leaves. -- Lynch
