Gave that a try. Still seems to be a problem. Changed the pcmcia
startup as suggested. Can see it during startup in the order I would
expect now. It appears to setup eth0 as I would expect as well.
But once it is up the interface has an IP from DHCP but nothing gets in
or out. I pull the card and reinsert it and then it works just fine.
ifconfig shows the interface up and everything the same in both cases.
After a reboot I even see RX and TX packets. But if I try to ping
something on the lan it is no good.
Have a work around, pop the card out and back in. Annoying but it
works.
Now I need to get back to getting a wireless card working.
