RE: Network (pcmcia card) not enabled after boot [newbie alert]
If I remove pcmcia-cs (or at least make sure it is not initialized by
removing the links from the /etc/rcx.d directories) I can't even
manually start the network (with ifup -a) after booting
If I first manually start pcmcia I can ifup the network.
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Peter
