Have you tried enabling network hotplugging for this card? It is capable of it, and in that case you will never wait for it to come up. > eth1 1 minute 40 seconds (wlan orinoco) > This is with default setup from Drak on Fujitsu E7010 (P4 notebook). I am not sure if wireless cards work that well with ifplugd, but this could certainly be fixed by using network profiles in the Mandrake control center. > I've tested and it's working for me !

All informations are on this page : > http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-boot.html Sure, but it has nothing to do with the problem you have described (long delay bringing up network connections), since you would still have to wait for network services to be brought up if you are not plugged in, whereas enabling network hotplugging (should work out-the-box for 8139too-based cards at least) *does* deal with this. Please provide the contents of your /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1 if you are unsure about how to check for network hotplugging. ***************************************************************** Please click on http://www.cae.co.za/disclaimer.htm to read our e-mail disclaimer or send an e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for a copy. *****************************************************************
