if i remember correctly, he was talking about the PCMCIA network.

last time i did a _full_ install of woody onto a laptop, baseconfig was
started _before_ the pcmcia card services were started. so getting
packages over the net failed.

after swapping to another VC, /etc/init.d/pcmcia start, everything worked great.

i do not know if that is still the case, but might be worthy of looking
into.
