PCMCIA NIC & internal NIC

[Chris Horn]

Hello. There's a colleague at work here with a Sony VAIO and two network interfaces. One is the built in NIC that requires a dongle to use, and the other is a PCMCIA network card. The problem is that apparently the network is being initialized before the PCMCIA devices are. Judging by the scripts in /etc/init.d/, everything is in order - but in practice eth1 (the PCMCIA card) is not initialized before it tries to get set up with the config in /etc/network/interfaces. What's the matter here? Is this a configuration error on my part, or Debian's?


Thanks.
chris horn.
