Description of problem: Using a machine with a PCMCIA network card the network is init'd by the PCMCIA scripts. However, unlike the normal network init the PCMCIA scripts do not wait for the card to get a DHCP and/or properly come up. This can cause problems with other init scripts that run shortly after PCMCIA that neet to access the network. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kerner-pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-13 Most likely exists in Fedora Core as well. How reproducible: I can reproduce it with my init script that starts OpenAFS which has a check to make sure that there are ethernet cards up and with valid IP addresses. These openafs RPMS can be found on ftp.linux.ncsu.edu/pub/realmkit/9/SRPMS Expected results: I would expect the PCMCIA stuff to wait for ethernet cards to properly init as does the normal network init scripts.
