I recently did a reinstall of Debian (3.0r1 kernel 2.4.18-686). I must
have done something different this time as the network is trying to come
up before the pcmcia driver is loaded which is where the network card
is. The first time I installed on this laptop everything worked fine
(after changing /etc/default/pcmcia: PCIC=yenta_socket).
You should remove the interface from /etc/network/interfaces and
define it in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts
Thanks Stephen. Unfortunatelly, I'm still not getting it :-(
I edited /etc/network/interfaces to comment out my iface:
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
# auto eth0
# iface eth0 inet static
# address 192.168.1.42
# netmask 255.255.255.0
# gateway 192.168.1.1
and made the following changes to /etc/pcmcia/network.opts
--- /etc/pcmcia/network.opts.orig Sun Mar 28 14:18:09 2004

I get no errors, but the network is not started. If I execute
'/etc/pcmcia/network start eth0' it comes up fine. In fact, if I revert
the changes and execute the command the network comes up fine. Why is it
not coming up automatically? I've read through the docs in
/usr/share/doc/pcmcia-cs and I'm off now to read the HOW-TO referenced
there. Hopefully, I'll find an answer there.
I'm still curious to know why it got configured differently this time.
I'm pretty sure I used the same options throughout, but...
All sugestions welcome.
Thanks,
Randy.
