Thanks; I do have hotplug installed, and it seems to its job.

I'll have a look at the apm docs.
Another problem (which also existed using the /etc/pcmcia/network.opts) is
that the wireless card will not work if the onboard (wired) card is up; I
_have_ to disable eth0 in order to get wlan0 to work. Generally, this isn't
a big deal, as I don't have to switch between a wired and wireless network
very often, but when I do, it means having to go in and manually bring up
the wired interface, which is a bit of a pain.
Shouldn't I be able to leave both up, and let the system find which one
actually has a connection?
