Re: PCMCIA nic difficulty.

[<karlp ourldsfamily com>]

The network was probably preserved, but on laptops, the pcmcia controls are
loaded too late in the booting process for the network to have come up. You
may check the order of things in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d or rc5.d if you are
booting into X. You can change the boot order of some things without
messing things up too much.. Just move the ones you need by removing them
and then re-linking them with ln -s sourcefile destfile.

The boot order is determined by the number after the S. The ones that start
with K are for shutting down. You probably don't need to change those.

Someone else will probably answer with more specific steps. I'm just
getting off work and my brains about to go into neutral...
