In message <yzsk8ofcqkx.fsf@sicily.odyssey.cs.cmu.edu> "Robert V. Baron" writes: : What the sleep does is almost the opposite. It delays the entire boot process : for 15 seconds after pccardd is started. This means that pccardd has enough : time to do its thing and find the devices. So the system behaves more like : the pcmcia devices were found during the system device probe. That's why -z is a good idea. It delays the boot process slightly, but makes sure that your nic cards are probed early in the boot process so sendmail, et al will have a better chance of working.
