New sarge installer casues problems on laptops

[dbarker@turing.cs.camosun.bc.ca]

I just installed sarge using the new installer last week.

There is a problem: for some reason the startup scripts are in the
wrong sequence, so that the system attempts to configure the network
before the PCMCIA card manager, so that eth0 isn't found.

I can more or less get around this by manually typing dhclient after
startup but...

Also perhaps related: I am sure that before (running sarge, but
gradually upgraded from woody install nearly a year ago) when I
unsuspended the machine from apm -s, the network came back up
(assuming I was still attached to the same physical net).

This no longer happens and after an unsuspend the network is totally
hooped and I have to reboot.

So: a) whoever's in charge of the installer, the sequencing of startup
scripts need to be fixed and b) can anyone suggest a way to stop the
network before a suspecnd so that I can restart afterwards reliably?
