Gentle friends,
I've installed 4.3 on my Toshiba Portege 3025CT, using a 3Com 3C589C
NIC, which was zp0 under 3.2, but is now ep0. The 3C589C works fine,
but I'm troubled about the boot sequence.
It seems that the PCMCIA cards (NIC and 56K modem are not located and
started until the final stage. I've seen others question this in the
list archives but haven't seen an answer.
Here are the boot messages:
(skip...)
route: writing to routing socket: Network is unreachable

BTW, I don't have an /etc/pccard.conf; I'm still using the default
/etc/defaults/pccard.conf.
Bottom line, everything seems to be working, but I'm troubled by the
bootup sequence. Is there a change I can make in the configuration
to start the cards earlier in the process?
The network's being unreachable at an earlier point would foil
Apache's or sendmail's startup if they were running on this machine
(and they just might be).
Oddly, under 3.2 there were no such boot messages. The card seemed
to be treated almost like a non-PCMCIA NIC during bootup when it was
zp0. I didn't see any card startup messages at all.
I'll admit it, I'm confused.
