Problems with FC 2 - Touch-pad and PCMCIA Ethernet card

[Daniele Masini]

I change the line as you told me, and the system now can see my Ethernet PCMCIA 
card. But the eth0 interface does not come up. So, after the boot my Ethernet 
PCMCIA card lights are on but I have

# ifconfig
lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
           inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
           inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
           UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
           RX packets:2467 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:2467 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
           RX bytes:2675256 (2.5 Mb)  TX bytes:2675256 (2.5 Mb)

So, if I type

# cardmgr

the eth0 interface come up:

# ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:98:37:1B:DF
           inet addr:192.168.1.10  Bcast:192.168.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
           inet6 addr: fe80::2e0:98ff:fe36:1bdf/64 Scope:Link
           UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
           RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
           RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:618 (618.0 b)
           Interrupt:3 Base address:0x300

lo        Link encap:Local Loopback
           inet addr:127.0.0.1  Mask:255.0.0.0
           inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
           UP LOOPBACK RUNNING  MTU:16436  Metric:1
           RX packets:2467 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
           TX packets:2467 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
           collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
           RX bytes:2675256 (2.5 Mb)  TX bytes:2675256 (2.5 Mb)

WHY?
How can I make the system bring up my eth0 (Ethernet PCMCIA card) automatically on 
boot?

Please, help me. Thank you very much in advance.
