I've choosen the hotplug package (instead of pcmcia-cs) to manage my
Xircom Cardbus NIC, kernel is 2.4.24 from kernel.org (plain, without any
patches).
Inserts and removals of the card are properly recognized and ifup resp.
ifdown are called.
But: if the card is in the slot, when I boot the system, it is
recognized by the kernel, but it is not initialized (loading driver
module and calling ifup) by the hotplug system.
In the directory /etc/hotplug is a file usb.rc, which is called by
/etc/init.d/hotplug and does something like initializing USB components.
I guess, there should be a pci.rc, which does the same with PCI
components. But there isn't.
So my question: how can I initialize my Xircom card during the boot
process, when the card is already in the slot?
TIA for any hints and tips.

check /etc/network/interfaces.
does the configuration have auto ethX (X being your pcmcia nic)?
if it does, try removing that line, then reboot...
May work, maybe not! let me know!
