    This normal for the default configuration which attempts to start the
    network service before the pcmcia service.

    See, the pcmcia service has succeeded in starting, if your pcmcia ethernet
    card is recognized then you should be able to use it for networking.

    The card seems to be recognized correctly, no problem here.

    Check 'cat /proc/modules.conf' without the quotes, is the xircom_cb module
    loaded or not? If not what happens when as root you type something like
    '/sbin/modprobe xircom_cb' without the quotes?

    What does 'ifconfig eth0' show?

    What does /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 look like?
