A hack-------------------------

Probably not the best, but cron runs after
hardware is set so you could add this tab:

@reboot                    /path/to/squid -option

Subject: delay services until pcmcia nics start


> Hi all,
> is there a way to delay the starting of certain services (eg. dhcp server
or squid), until after a pcmcia NIC has started?
> I have two nics, both pcmcia, one an 802.11 cisco aironet card, and the
other is a xircom ethernet.
> I use the /etc/start_if.ano and /etc/start_if.xe0 scripts to configure the
cards.  I also pause during the execution of /etc/start_if.ano for 60
seconds (for some reason it won't go into ad-hoc mode straight away).

> I need to delay the execution of the isc-dhcp server, otherwise it starts
before both cards are up.  It then doesn't listen on the interface that
starts later.

It can't to this at the time it starts because neither nic is ready.  (I
know you can disable this with -D, but even still...)
