    All,
     
    I have installed the 'latest stable' Debian version on an (old) Dell
    laptop Cpi D300XT.
     
    The initial install was done with the laptop in a docking station and
    using the network adaptor that comes with that docking station.
    Everything went fine.
     
    Later I removed the laptop from the docking station and tried to enable
    a PCMCIA Xircom CBEM56G network/modem card.

    That is giving me a headache.

    The boot log contains

    After booting the card seems to be there (cardctl info shows it), but
    the network is not.

    If after booting I execute ifup -a it is enabled and the network works
    fine.

    I have tried to follow the procedure in
    http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/reference/ch-gateway.en.html#fr67
    (10.10.2 Triggering network configuration - hotplug) but that does not
    help me (same problem).

    Anyone any thoughts or pointers to documentation to help me out with
    this,

    Thanks,

    Peter
