The OS is working fine, no ATA problems, too old I guess. I am using a D-Link DE-660CT PCMCIA card (NE2000 clone), the card is working fine. The problem I am having is with bootup. After pccardd is loaded /etc/rc continues on and finished, failing on every piece of networking, before the PCMCIA card is initialized. I modified /etc/rc as follows: # start up PC-card configuration if [ -f /etc/rc.pccard ]; then . /etc/rc.pccard fi + +echo 'sleeping' ; sleep 30 + This is a crude hack, but is has guarenteed that the NIC is configured before /etc/rc continues. 1) Is the a problem due to the age of the laptop? 2) Am I missing something? 3) Is there a "proper" way to do this?
