I will try another thing that someone suggested for laptops. I saved that messages for later digestion. -- Andrew

The "proper" way to do this, by the way, is to put all of the info for your network into /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. The advantage of doing it that way is the network will automatically get started when you plug the card in and stopped when you pop it out. Later, Dale -- +- pgp key available --+ | Dale E.

The script should set up the IP via ifconfig and set the route if you are running a 2.0.x kernel. Since it works when you run it by hand, all is probably well.
problem networking after a reboot
I installed Debian 2.0 to a ThinkPad, and each time I reboot the machine, the network card will not work until I do: /etc/init.d/network start It works after that. Should I edit the script and give my interfaces and routes expicitly or is there a better way to get things working when I reboot, without having to enter the above command? thanks -- Andrew
