Hi, More than one person(debain-user) is having problems with the startup sequence with pcmcia. I thought I'd ask here as this list is very familiar with pcmcia. Please read the messages below. It seems that /etc/init.d/networking gets called before /etc/init.d/pcmcia.
I searched open and closed bugs for [EMAIL PROTECTED] and could not find anything reported about this. Is this a problem that needs to be looked at for the distribution? It sure makes the out of box experience with Debian a little rough. Eric :-) Eric Richardson wrote: > > "Stephen E.
