Description of problem: The PCMCIA subsystem is started after the Network subsystem. This is non practical if the only network card in the system is a pcmcia adapter. Starting the two subsystems in that order poses a number of problems such as delaying network interface initialization (which is a minor delay) to blocking the machine several dozens of seconds (minutes ?) when using PPPOE to connect for instance to a DSL provider, as the PPP process is trying to hook onto the ethernet adapter which hasn't been started yet. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 0. use a pcmcia network adapter 1. set up a DSL provider 2. boot the machine 3. hang when trying to launch PPPOE while the ethernet adapter is not even loaded Actual results: hangs the boot process for a while until if finally times out, not finding a connection Expected results: should start the pcmcia so that the adapter is loaded, then start the network, and all would be well Additional info:
