This is a followup to earlier traffic, shown below.
My problem now seems to be the DHCP daemon wants to activate before the
PCMCIA card is available, so it cannot find interface eth0.
Running dhcpd at the command line promptly fires it up, and activates the
interface, and begins serving IP addresses.
I think I need to launch dhcpd later in the boot cycle, or the pcmcia
earlier, but I haven't had any luck with this.
I've read the FAQ, re-read the installation and user guide (somethin like
15th time) and they don't seem to say either.
Could someone point me to a successful approach?

Richard:
I'll be glad to share what I learn as I go, and I planned on sending
lessons-learned back to the list / primary producers of LEAF.
You pointed me in the right track, but it turned out the 3c589_cs CANNOT
be called from within the /etc/modules.
Instead, the 3c589 driver needs moved to the /lib/modules/pcmcia, then the
pcmcia package backed up. Upon load, the OS automatically loads these
modules, in module-dependent order.
That got eth0 working, at least from the firewall's view.
I'm still checking the eth0 service to make sure I understand what's
available / works there.
Best wishes,

that would help.
I'm working on LEAF Bering 1.2, using a PPP serial modem (as ppp0) and a
PCMCIA NIC as eth0 for the internal network. The host is a Toshiba
Satellite Pro 460CDX laptop (recycled). The NIC is an older 3Com Ethe
rLink
III 3C589D based card (recycled).
At boot, the firewall gives an error message of:
Masquerade: Error: Unable to determine the routes through eth0

Yes. You can insert the module on a running system with insmod
3c589_cs
I'm very interested in your progress on this project, as I'm about to
try something rather similar in the next few weeks.
Good luck!
