one of the problems with laptops and pcmcia cards is that the network
services load before the pcmcia service and though it is counter-
intuitive, ONBOOT = YES makes it not work and ONBOOT = NO makes it work
automatically at startup. I would speculate that the reason is that when
the pcmcia service starts, if it detects the network device as already
working, it won't bother with initializing it.
