Subject: Re: Bug#351491: pcmcia NIC isn't brought up after install
I found out the reason for the bug:
the installer doesn't put this in the interfaces file:
allow-hotplug ethx
To solve the bug, just put this before:
mapping hotplug
script grep
map ethx
Now it works like a charm (at boot up, or when ejecting/inserting card)
Hope it'll help.
