[expert] pcmica not starting, wireless lan card and 9.0

[Haisam K. Ido]

I successfully installed mdk 9.0 on a Sony Vaio. I use a Netgear pcmcia card for wireless connection to my AP. For some reason the pccard eth1 timesout at boot up. I suspected a misconfiguration. Therefore, I booted via

linux init 1

and did

/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia start

the network and internet services (via DHCP services) start without a problem. I made sure of the following:

chkconfig --level 345 pcmcia on

and then rebooted and still the pccard (eth1) times out in acquiring a dynamic ip via my DHCP server. It seems that the pcmcia services are still not started at boot up. What am I doing wrong and what is the solution.
