Keith, This should be easily fixed by just changing the order of the init script for pcmcia for your default runlevel. On Caldera & RedHat (which i realize isn't what you're using) this would be in /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/
Just change the number of the pcmcia script so that its higher than the network script. -L [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Joel, > > What I have figured is that I need to restart pcmcia and network after > all is said and done.
