hotplug event - inserting pcmcia wifi card

In RH9 when I inserted my pcmcia wifi card or restarted the computer, the wifi
card would automatically do an ifup ethx

With Fedora I have to do it manually

I noticed a slight difference in /etc/hotplug/net.agent between the two distro
versions and it looks like Fedora requires a HWADDR entry in the
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-x info that matches the card's MAC
address

Could someone confirm this please
