start networking before pcmcia & RE: Reconfigure IP address
I figured out what my issue is however it creates a new problem that I
don't really know how to fix. This is on a laptop. The problem was
that networking was starting before pcmcia started so eth0 didn't exist
yet. Does anyone know how to make pcmcia start first? Thanks

Hmmm. What dhcp client are you using? I use dhcp-client 2.0pl5-7.
Note that I've heard bad things about debian's pump, and never got
it working.
