Marek, misunderstanding perhaps depends by my "italian accent" too...:-)) With only one interface dhcp I've already tryed. In the last mail with my poor english I've written that I've tried with only one pcmcia interface static too, but without lucky. The only way to get it working is with a NO PCMCIA interface, static or dhcp. In other words, the interface have to be independent from hotplug. The problem is that I must configure it manually. Thanks again Stefano
Check that /etc/init.d/network is starting -after- /etc/init.d/hotplug. <snip> # /etc/init.d/network # ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: network # Required-Start: $local_fs # Required-Stop: # Default-Start: 2 3 5 # Default-Stop: # Description: Configure the network interfaces and set up routing ### END INIT INFO </snip> Add hotplug at the end of the # Required-Start: $local_fs line. This all sounds like the network is trying to start before the card is recognized and modules loaded for it. Ken
