    rc.inet1 is started by rc.M in slack. That starts after the PCMCIA
    devices but before the hotplug PCI and USB devices. It is supposed to
    defer, but there are two catches. The PCMCIA card may take a while to
    start and there is a sleep mode to take care of that. It is set to 5. It
    could be lengthened and rc.inet1 start up lines in rc.M could be moved
    to after the hotplug section. Make a back up of rc.M before surgery, so
    you can change back. First lengthen the sleep time if you are sure the
    card is being seen eventually by dmesg. Rerun rc.M and see what happens.
    Then move the 5 or so lines in rc.M that start up rc.inet1 to after the
    hotplug section.

    just an experiment.
