Check wheither the pcmcia services start before networking or after.
On my laptop the pcmcia starts after networking so I get no network
until I manually restart.
If so try changing the order during boot ie rm the Sxxx pcmcia link and
remake it lower then the networking Sxxxx.

Subject: eth0 does not start during boot, but can be started manually
this is probably a simple error but I'm stuck.
System: IBM ThinkPad 570E, Debian Sarge, KDE, w/ most current updates
(I
think). Kernel version 2.4.27-2-386. NB. on this machine, networking
is
via a plugin PCMCIA card.
After some upgrades:-
(kernel 2.4.27-1-386 to 2.4.27-2-386, but many other package upgrades
as well, via aptitude), networking behavior has changed.
Now, networking no longer starts at boot time, but can be started
(and runs
normally) after system is up (via /etc/init.d/networking start, or via
the kde network admin panel). (this behavior is now the same with
either
kernel version)
Since I can start networking manually, I'm guessing that
configurations are correct (see 'interfaces' content below), though I
don't
understand 2 aspects of the file :-
1) the split 'auto' statement (tried replacing with a single 'auto lo
eth0'
at top of file, but made no difference
2) the hotplug reference to eth0 (is this related to pcmcia?)
polyphony:/etc/network# cat interfaces

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

# They will be activated automatically by the hotplug subsystem.

broadcast 192.168.2.255
network 192.168.2.0
gateway 192.168.2.1
auto eth0
----------end of interfaces-------------
So might it be a runlevel script problem?
I'd much appreciate some help in diagnosing and repairing this.
Thanks!
