    Does anyone know what configuration file controls the start order for
    the services in the /etc/rc.d/rcx.d folders?

    Specifically, which file resets the order to the SuSe defaults if the
    order has been modified?

    I know how to disable SuSeconfig, but at this point I am not interested
    in that. I simply want SuSeconfig to stop changing the startup order of
    the PCMCIA service.

    With Mandrake and Redhat once I changed the startup order so that PCMCIA
    started before network I *never* had to worry about Redhat's up2date or
    the Mandrake update utility changing it back.

    SuSeconfig on the other hand insists on setting PCMCIA to S08pcmcia
    which comes after S05network. I set pcmcia to be S04pcmcia so it starts
    before network. This insures that I always get a network connection no
    matter what network I am connecting to.

    I realize that hotplugger is supposed to start pcmcia but it is simply
    unreliable when it comes to pcmcia cards. I should note however, it
    works fine with USB devices.

    Before I changed the boot order so that PCMCIA would start first I would
    not get a network connection when first booted up. This because when the
    network is set to start first and the only connection to the network is
    a wireless pcmcia card, that hasn't started yet, you can't get an DHCP
    assigned ipaddress.

    So if someone can tell me which file I can modify so the startup order
    of PCMCIA won't be reset when yast or YOU is run I would be grateful.

    Thanks
