[lug] network boot messages

[Elyse Grasso]

I have 2 (I think) sets of network problems, which I will put in separate 
messages. Running KRUD 10/2001.

Since last week I have been using two different pcmcia network cards in my 
laptop: a wireless lan card at work and a 10/100 wired lan card at home. (I 
know... that sounds backwards.) I also have a 56K modem card that's pcmcia, 
and in the past week every possible combination of cards have been in the 
slots at boot time at some point. 

I have done a lot of thrashing around in the network settings switching back 
and forth between the two LAN environments: work uses DHCP, home has been 
using hard-coded settings, but I'm trying to bring up dhcpd on my home server 
to simpliify matters. Most of the thrashing has been done using linuxconf.

I am seeing the following messages at boot (pcmcia has been moved from S45 to 
S09 to put it before the network stuff, but moving it back makes no 
difference).

I would appreciate any suggestions about what I might have broken and how to 
fix it without breaking something else.

Thanks
