    I have a really annoying problem happening to my Sony Vaio laptop. It
    has a Xircom PCMCIA network card. I just loaded 9.0 on it, and mostly
    things are going well.

    The problem is that the nfs service will not start on boot. It always
    (100%) returns a "Network Unreachable" error. To get my nfs to work I
    have to log in as root and run "rcnfs restart," which works all (again,
    100%) of the time. I've looked through /etc/init.d/rc3.d/ (I'm using
    runlevel 3 to avoid the startup graphics and login screen) to figure out
    how I could load something sooner, so I would have a confirmed network
    connection before calling nfs.

    Logging in as root to manually load nfs is a pain. Any ideas?
