Hi Jacques, anyone concerned, I looked into the Bering pcmcia packages, specifically the pcmcia_orinoco.lrp. To those who would like to have wireless and network settings take effect during initial startup (and hot swapping), I find that this can be done by using wireless and wireless.opts or something similar that must be called upon by /etc/pcmcia/network script.
An /etc/init.d/pcmcia rc call that's earlier than /etc/init.d/networking must also be implemented. The object of the early rc call is to have the needed pcmcia modules to load ahead of /etc/init.d/networking. The pcmcia cardmgr may also be regarded as a module loader for pcmcia device, hence, I think it's logical to have it load close with /etc/init.d/modutils. Then lastly, a call to "/etc/init.d/networking start" (or something similar) may be used in replace of the "ifup $DEVICE" line in /etc/pcmcia/network start clause. With my DS 1.02, I used "networking ifup $DEVICE". Having all of the above, while a card already inserted, I'm able to have both wireless and network settings take effect during initial machine start-up. This is also true during hot swapping of wireless cards.
