I don;t know exactly how/who to report this to, so I hope you can pass it on the correct person. On laptops the network starts up at S10network and pcmcia starts up at S45pcmcia. This is bad, because if you use a pcmcia card it will not work as is. In my case I changes S10network to S47network and rebooted. This started up both pcmcia and the network with 0 errors. I would recommend this be the default setup.
In what way did a PCMCIA card not work normally? The PCMCIA startup should still bring up the network interface, even after the network script was run.
