Comment 1 Joel Uckelman 2004-06-05 03:35:43 UTC 
Here's what I did to solve this problem:

Change the line 

# chkconfig: 2345 24 96

in /etc/init.d/pcmcia to

# chkconfig: 2345 09 96

And then run:

chkconfig --level 2345 pcmcia reset

network starts at 10, so this makes pcmcia start immediately prior to
it. Changing pcmcia from 24 to 9 seems to have caused no additional
problems for me.

This is been a bug on FC1, RH 9 and RH 8 too.

This really isn't a bug.  Set your ifcfg-eth0/1/whatever to ONBOOT=no
for your pcmcia device.  When pcmcia starts, it will discover the
device and start it at that point and everything continues normally.

Fedora Core 2 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for
security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please
reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a
security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC3 updates or
in the FC4 test release, reopen and change the version to match.

It is fine in Fedora Core 3 now.
