Thanks, I will give this a try. I don't think this is the problem though as trying to start the network through the SuSE tools while the system is already in run level 5 doesn't work. For some reason the tools do not detect this device and automatically kill that entry in the configuration. In other words, it would be one thing if the configuration was there and simply needed to be started, but the problem is that the configuration isn't even there. But maybe I missed something. I will move around the configuration files and see what happens. This was the problem on RedHat way back when, and something I totally forgot to consider.

Hi,
I think the problem is that dhclient (dhcpcd) is started after pcmcia. If
Should have read 'started before', of course.
you go into the runlevel directory for the runlevel you use, for instance /etc/rc.d/rc5.d for graphical system with network and do
rm S02dhclient ln -s ../dhclient S07dhclient
Since pcmcia is S06 this will (hopefully) restore sanity to your system :)

Actually, now that I look at the other links, it's probably better to move pcmcia up instead. It looks like there are other services being started in S07 that needs network, so perhaps moving pcmcia to S01 instead?!
