When I stick in my wireless ethernet card into a pcmcia slot, it comes
up as irq3. I can then startx & kde (from startx) only if I do not
configure the card. I either configure it by ifup eth1 (for static) or
just run dhcpcd eth1 to get a dhcp address. If I configure the card, it
halts at "initializing system services."

This is in .xsession-errors:
jforman@pikesmarket:~$ cat .xsession-errors 
_KDE_IceTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.ICE-unix should be set to root
DCOPServer up and running.
jforman@pikesmarket:~$ 

After a reboot, and only initializing my builtin ethernet device, it
does the same thing. Same message when starting X as root also. Below is
a listing of /tmp. For some reason it seems to be setting
/tmp/.ICE-unix/ to jforman, my normal user account. Any ideas?

jforman@pikesmarket:/tmp$ ls -al
total 32
drwxrwxrwt    7 root     root         4096 Apr 29 19:28 .
drwxr-xr-x   22 root     root         4096 Apr  8 00:22 ..

jforman@pikesmarket:/tmp$ 

Was poking around /proc and found an irq directory, but only containing
directories of numbers which seemed to be irq's with no files inside
them to list the devices correlated with each irq. There a nifty little
app built in to list irq's that I am forgetting about? Thanks,

Jeff

check your .xsession-errors
