Re: Starting IBM EtherJet on 2.4.20-3-686

["Craig H. Anderson" <craig@coot.net>]

Some more info, I scrolled back on the bootup console. 

On the console:
...
Cleaning: /etc/network/ifstate.
Setting up IP spoofing protection: rp_filter
Configuring network interfaces... SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
...
Starting internet superserver: inetd.
Staring PCMCIA services: modulesLinux Kernel Card Services 3.1.22
... 

It appears to me the ifup command is run before card services are started.
