    I've got Debian Woody back installed on my old Tecra 700ct. I have a
    pcmcia 3com 3c589 card for my interface. I'm trying to figure out an
    automated way to get my network up on boot. Presently the network is
    unreachable at boot. This is because with it enabled the system looks
    for the interface before the cardmanager has activated the card (which
    is one of the last things to get initialized). Presently I have my
    interfaces set so eth0 is not "auto" enabled at boot to avoid the error
    messages. But either way the nic itself is fine. I can ifup eth0 after
    bootup and the nic activates and I can ping the connected box. So is
    there a step I missed to get this to initialize correctly on boot? Or am
    I limited to running ifup eth0 (and then subsequently restarting my
    samba daemons) after I login?
