It's been ep since at least 3.2, probably earlier than that also...

These settings won't actually assign the IP address to the interface, as
you're using a PCMCIA card. You'll need to use something like:

pccard_enable="YES"
pccard_ifconfig="inet 203.15.244.203  netmask 255.255.255.0"

Is the card actually detected by the machine? Is pccardd running? What
does 'ifconfig -a' show?


Nick.
