    I just installed sarge using the new installer last week.

    There is a problem: for some reason the startup scripts are in the
    wrong sequence, so that the system attempts to configure the network
    before the PCMCIA card manager, so that eth0 isn't found.

    I can more or less get around this by manually typing dhclient after
    startup but...

    Also perhaps related: I am sure that before (running sarge, but
    gradually upgraded from woody install nearly a year ago) when I
    unsuspended the machine from apm -s, the network came back up
    (assuming I was still attached to the same physical net).

    This no longer happens and after an unsuspend the network is totally
    hooped and I have to reboot.

    So: a) whoever's in charge of the installer, the sequencing of startup
    scripts need to be fixed and b) can anyone suggest a way to stop the
    network before a suspecnd so that I can restart afterwards reliably?
