[ltp] Linksys Etherfast 10/100 PC Card

[Tod Harter]

I know that both Mandrake and RH have a bit of hackery in the network startup 
scripts to deal with deffered initialization of PCMCIA network interfaces. 
Its not something you SHOULD have to hack with, but I have no idea how other 
distros deal with the issue, if they do. One would assume that the main ones 
have SOME similar mechanism.
