For instance, I'm using the 'proper' pccard_ifconfig lines to bring up my GCS2220 ethernet card, yet by the time pccardd has fired up the interface, the rest opf /etc/rc* has brought up exim, my local caching-only nameserver, amd, xntpd etc.., some of which will occasionally fail to 'do the right thing', since at the time they're started up, I only have a loopback interface defined, with ed0 still nowhere in the land of the living (since pccardd hasn't finished doing its thing). I would imagine that most of these problems could be sorted out with an optional flag to pccardd saying "I already have my card in the laptop, it's an ethernet card, and I don't want the rest of /etc/rc* to bring up network-related daemons until pccard-ed0 (or whatever) is up and running". -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Demon Internet Ltd.
