Hello,

I am using linux on a Compaq Laptop, an figured out, that the pcmcia 
subsystem is started after the network subsystem. This will cause a delayed
notwork startup. So its better to start pcmcia before the network stuff
to get a clean startup. Its also a good idea to start the syslog before
the pcmcia stuff, because the cardmgr will produce some message that
will clutter up the screen (only cosmetical). I started syslog with
S08syslog pcmcia with S09pcmcia and leaved the network at S10network.
Shutting down should be in reverse order.
