Yes, I know. My PCMCIA Ethernet card is configured as NOT TO START ON BOOT. So I 
expected that the card works as in FC1, so after the boot the card sould be up. 
But it does not work since I type the command

# cardmgr

After that infact the eth0 interface is finally up. Why?
Can you help me?

Thanks.
