Look into network.opt more and FAQ :)
One consequence of this flexibility is that the entire network
configuration must be done through the /etc/pcmcia/network script. This
includes mounting NFS directories. Note that, while this script
automatically does many useful things, it is difficult to anticipate
everything that a Linux user would like to do. That is why the start_fn
and stop_fn functions have been provided in the network.opts file; they are
a catch-all for allowing the user to do absolutely anything when the
network interface is brought up or down.
Thus hack this portion:
is_true $PUMP || is_true $BOOTP || is_true $DHCP || is_true $DHCLIENT || \
if [ ! "$IPADDR" -a -f /etc/network/interfaces ] ; then
INFO="Debian network setup"
start_fn () {
log /sbin/ifup $1
}
stop_fn () {
log /sbin/ifdown $1
}
fi
