That's just what I always have done (se above)...
The problem is that when I use the kernel's own modules, the
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts file is silently ignored, and I have to use
"ifconfig eth0 x.x.x.x && route add default gw y.y.y.y" manually.
The problem dissappears if I boot a different kernel that use the
pcmcia-cs modules. The only other difference is that I change
/etc/default/pcmcia to read yenta_socket inst4ead of i82365.
Thank you for your time,

Stig
