Redhat 8 (and 9) edit /etc/init.d/pcmcia and /etc/init.d/network and change the chkconfig line. then chkconfig --del pcmcia chkconfig --add pcmcia chkconfig --del network chkconfig --add network The last two numbers in the chkconfig line are startup and shutdown ordering. On mine (it's a desktop so I don't care about pcmcia) pcmcia is 24 and network is 10. I would change it so that pcmcia is 10 and network is 11 and see if that works. It might not. Make a backup of your original scripts first! tar zcvf /tmp/etc.tar.gz /etc Gerry On Sat, 6 Dec 2003, Sam MacDonald wrote: > I'm sorry Red Hat 8. > Sam > > David Phillips wrote: > >Sam MacDonald writes: > > > >>Can I tell Linux to start PCMCIA before ETH0 ? > >> > > > >Most likely, your system's init is System V compatible and runs init scripts > >in alphanumeric order.
