I agree with Vincent.
It is no use to start network without network card.
When the network parameters (network id, IP address) depend on the card,
IPchain is started with a wrong address, and all services must be re-configured
after PCMCIA starting. This imply that there are 2 sets of configuration scripts:
1) the standard set, runned during the machine initialization, and often not
maintained up-to-date
2) the PCMCIA set, with its specific syntax and launching mode.
However the PCMCIA scripts are used more often, since they are called
before sleeping and after awking.
