[Devil-Linux-discuss] PCMCIA and eth0 problems at boot

[Gerhard O. <ger...@gm...>]

After upgrading from 1.2.7 to 1.2.10, the network no longer
initialised correctly. The log is shown below. The core problem seems
to be that cardmgr exits before it is completely finished so the
interface cannot be started correctly.

I got around this by adding a delay in /etc/init.d/pcmcia after start.

The workaround is fine for me, but a solution in the distro should
possibly be different.
Any suggestions?

The sender address really contains .nospam.
