Again, as I changed my e-mail -- Christian - Grenoble ======================================= Scott,
I got a similar situation with my system which is a laptop with two PCMCIA Ethernet cards. To solve this race condition problem (initialisation of the PCMCIA cards not done before dhcp and other daemons are launched) I modified pcmcia.lrp scripts as follows: ---------------- /etc/init.d/pcmcia: RCDLINKS="S,S38 2,S13 3,S13 4,S13 5,S13 6,K87" ---------------- and added Erich's script in pcmcia.lrp with slight adjustements -------------- /etc/init.d/pcmcia_eth: #!/bin/sh # # Copyleft 2002 Erich Titl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) # # This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it # under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the # Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your # option) any later version.

See the GNU General Public License # for more details. # # Purpose: # Wait for PCMCIA Ethernet cards to be ready. # Executed following pcmcia init script execution RCDLINKS="S,S38 2,S13 3,S13 4,S13 5,S13" WHAT="eth" # what to search for WHERE="/proc/net/dev" # where to search HOW_LONG=20 # how long in seconds before aborting NICS=`grep ${WHAT} /etc/shorewall/interfaces | grep -v ^# | wc -l` [ ! -r /etc/shorewall/interfaces ] && NICS=2; count=0 while true do count=`expr $count + 1` # weird, for some reason grep does not return anything sensible devs=`grep ${WHAT} ${WHERE} | wc -l` [ $count -eq ${HOW_LONG} -o $devs -eq ${NICS} ] && break; sleep 1 done exit 0 -------------------- which means that pcmcia initialization is done earlier in the boot process (S,S38) and init waits for the initialization of the Ethernet devices before proceeding to rest of boot sequence.
