Hi there,
thanks for the responses so far.
Somehow I still had no success with an automatically upcoming eth0.
I tried to edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts but that did not change anything.
When I removed 'auto eth0', the network did not come up at all, not even
after I restarted the network with /etc/init.d/network.
Where exactly does this problem come from? Do other people also face this
kind of uncomfortable situation?
TIA,
Harry

sure. edit /etc/pcmcia/network.opts to configure pcmcia-cards.
And remove the "auto eth0" line from /etc/network/interfaces.
