Alan:


You'll need to change the order of startup putting the pcmcia before network:

go to /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc3.d
type "ls -la | more"

you'll see a lot of links like this  S10network -> ../init.d/network

the "S" means Start, the number is the sequence and the name is the service.

just type "ln -s  ../init.d/pcmcia Sxxpcmcia"  where: xx is a number lower than
the number where network starts.

in the case above it should be "ln -s  ../init.d/pcmcia S09pcmcia"

after that, remove the older link that refers to pcmcia start - use "rm
Syypcmcia" where yy is the old number.

reboot the machine and you will see that the pcmcia will start before the
network and the message "Failed" goes away...

best regards.
