: While I think you have the concept down fine, the execution may still

: If the device is in place when the system boots, devd should not be
: required, as it should be probed in the traditional manner. But this
: does not seem to execute the added things that need to be done to
: bring up a new network interface. After the system is up I need to
: execute /etc/pccard_ether to get the interface on-line.
Can you put a echo "I'm in pccard_ether" type line in
/etc/pccard_ether and see if that's being run at boot. Like I said in
my last response, I just confirmed that it is running on my machine.
I've had some problems with CardBus cards on boot not probing, but
that's a different problem that I'm aware of and working on a solution
for and has nothing to do with devd.
