 Anyone have any idea why this might happen? The proper rc.* files are all 
 there, as far as I can tell

Look in the rc2.d directory. The links to the scripts in /etc/init.d have
Snumber prepended to the name. They are executed in ascending order. Simply
rename the PCMCIA link to a lower number so that it executes before
S15netstd_init does.

It is simplest not to use /etc/init.d/network with a PCMCIA
network card.  I suggest that you put your network details in
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts and that you trim them from 
/etc/init.d/network.  Then your network will not start until you
insert your network card.

You might want to leave the loopback in /etc/init.d/network -
like this:
  ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
  route add -net 127.0.0.0

For details on how to setup /etc/pcmcia/network.opts, see the
PCMCIA faq.  If you use your system on multiple networks, you can
specify different schemes which make switching among them very
simple. 

Regards, Mike
