Hi

I am running debian 2.2.20 sid on a laptop and I am haveing trouble with
the pcmcia card. It starts after the nettwork and couses the pc to boot
without getting an address from dhcp.
I need to run /etc/init.d/networking restart everytime I have booted up.
How can I get the pcmcia card to start erlier in the boot?

Wrong solution. You don't want pcmcia to start earlier (it can't) but networking (at least DHCP client) to start later. The relevant code is in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts, where you need to specify "DHCP=Y". After all, you also want it to be possible to pop a network card or reinsert one - you don't want to restart the network every time.
