If it's a pcmcia card you're putting in, you shouldn't be using the modules that come with the kernel, you should be using the ones with card services. If card services is running, it should detect and bring up your card as soon as you pop it in. Of course, I had a toshiba laptop that required you to have it in on boot or it wouldn't work. jay -----Original Message----- From: Ben Lutgens [mailto:blutgens at usinternet.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 10, 2000 5:14 PM To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org Subject: Re: [TCLUG:22457] Switching Ethernet Cards On Tue, Oct 10, 2000 at 04:10:15PM -0500, Perry Hoekstra wrote: > >Should I have seen a reference to eth0 when the system started up?
