 1) As you can see--/etc/init.d/pcmcia is pretty stupid. If you want to
 restart pcmcia, killall cardmgr and then run cardmgr
 
 #/etc/init.d/pcmcia
 echo "Starting PCMCIA card services"
 insmod pcmcia_core
 insmod i82365
 insmod ds
 echo "Waiting for kernel modules to settle..."
 sleep 4
 echo "Starting cardmgr...."
 cardmgr
 echo "Waiting some more...."
 sleep 3
 echo "Attempting to configure network..."
 netcfg
 
 You'll also need http://trinux.sf.net/pkg/2.4.5/pcmcia-pcnet.tgz
 
 2) I updated the /etc/pcmcia/config file in the pcmcia-bin.tgz package
 available withint http://trinux.sf.net/pkg/
 
 3) The ability to override files (especially config files) within a
 tarball is something I'm thinking about and your question is a good
 example why. Basically what I'm planning is a "virtual" etc directory on
 the boot device (/tux/config/vetc) that would contain config files that
 would overwrite what is inside the tarball.
