Well... I start it in my setup script that enables the 802.11
interface, so I have it (and natd_enable) set to "NO" -- a
peculiar case,  the exception which proves you right, etc.
I need both PCMCIA interfaces up before I start these, and
the standard rc scripts don't provide a good way of doing
this with more than one pccard interface (it's an old
laptop that serves as my SMTP and DNS host, it has a built-in
UPS aka a battery).

The PCCARD stuff is somewhat non-deterministic and asynchronous
in when the daemon actually gets the interfaces up, so...

Yes, yes -- experienced professionals rarely go naked in
say, Toronto, in January.
