> What is the problem in the first place?  I had a PCMCIA Ethernet card that would come up on boot but the eth0 configuration would fail.  I solved the problem by rearranging the file names in /etc/rc.d/rc3.d so the pcmcia ran earlier in the sequence.  The files are executed in alpha order, just change the number in the name to rearrange the order.

I think the problem was a missing entry in /etc/modules.conf, but this
file is somehow only for sophisticated users ;).
