FC 2 - Problem with PCMCIA Ethernet card.

I changed the line in /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia, so now it is

         #if ! grep -q pcmcia /proc/devices ; then
         if ! cardctl status 2>&1 > /dev/null ;

and the system now can see my Ethernet PCMCIA card.
But the eth0 interface does not come up.
After the boot my Ethernet PCMCIA card lights now 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)

Then, typing

# cardmgr

the eth0 interface come up, as shown in the follow

# 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

           TX packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

           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? There is any problems with cardmgr?
How can I make the system bring up my eth0 (Ethernet PCMCIA card) automatically 
after the boot?

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