is it possible that it reordered your changes? changing boot order is supposed to be done by editing the scripts in question -- there is a comment at the top which a program called chkconfig or something reads. There should be a skel file lying around with the meanings of each of the numbers. After you edit it you need to run chkconfig again to tell it about the changes (you need to specify some flags). Don't know if that's the problem or not, but it is the "right" way to do it so probably worth chasing up. was there anything listed in the logs about failed pcmcia startup or something? If you want a cheap, quick hack, you could put the appropriate lines to get your pcmcia stuff running in the network startup script. Try everything else first though - that's gotta break something else :) HTH James. > > Just kidding.
