I also noticed that pcmcia scripts now look at /etc/network/interfaces
by default. I will experiment some more to find out why this didn't seem
to work right yesterday. It did work when I tried it now, maybe it has
something to do with my current ordering of configuration scripts on
bootup...
(discover is a hardware detection system. Don't think it does network
environment detection too... I know there are others, also don't
remember what they are.)
I guess these are all for detecting one of a number of preconfigured
network settings? Thanks, I may try some more of these on my laptop, but
for this little project the network environment is completely unknown.
Having pcmcia look at /etc/network/interfaces is the "right" solution in
this case.
