I changed the line in /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia, so now it is
#if ! grep -q pcmcia /proc/devices ; then
if ! cardctl status 2>&1 > /dev/null ;
and the system now can see my Ethernet PCMCIA card.
But the eth0 interface does not come up.
After the boot my Ethernet PCMCIA card lights now are on, but I have
# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1
RX packets:2467 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:2675256 (2.5 Mb) TX bytes:2675256 (2.5 Mb)
Then, typing
# cardmgr
the eth0 interface come up, as shown in the follow
# ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:98:37:1B:DF
inet addr:192.168.1.10 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

WHY? There is any problems with cardmgr?
How can I make the system bring up my eth0 (Ethernet PCMCIA card) automatically
after the boot?
Please, help me.
Thank you very much in advance.
