Are you running a RH kernel, or your own?  Version?  Card Services or Yenta?
Version?

Also, maybe I don't know what I am doing, but using PCMCIA Ethernet cards I
always have them fail when the system tries to bring it up, because the pcmcia
driver isn't loaded yet.  I don't know what the "right" solution is.  With RH it
always came up on its own a bit later in init.  With Debian I have resorted to a
"local" init script at the very end of init that takes eth0 up and down.  (The
first line of the script it "# hack hack hack . . .").

Oh, and are you talking about dmesg?  (Try typing dmesg and see if you go
"Ohhh.")
Good luck!
