The S# sets the order of initialization when entering that init level. This should have been done by dpkg. You need to insure that anything needed by the network daemons is activated before this.
If you look at the other files in that directory you'll see they all have an S# to insure dependencies are satisfied. bash-2.00# dir /etc/rc2.d S10sysklogd S20logoutd S20xntp3 S12kerneld S20lpd S25netstd_nfs S15netstd_init S20ppp S30netstd_misc S18netbase S20radiusd-livingston S50atd S19bind S20sendmail S89cron S20apache S20snmpd S99rmnologin S20courtney S20xfs was-S20nas S20gpm S20xinetd was-S99xdm S20iplogger S20xntp This is my rc2.d directory. I don't have a network link to the /etc/init.d directory, but I use ppp. I didn't think network cards were initialized in a network file but in the netstd* files. What does this file do on your system, and did you make it? S = Start K = Kill On Mon, 5 May 1997, A. M.
