Calm down, please.  One question mark will do just fine, and you
needn't shout.  I feel your pain.  In fact, this was one of the first
Linux problems I ever encountered, and I still fail to understand why
networking is configured to start before pcmcia, since a machine that
uses pcmcia probably depends on such a device for its networking.

After you log in, have you checked to see if eth0 is indeed up
('ifconfig')?  The pcmcia scripts are supposed to do that for you
after they come up.  Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't.  If so,
you have nothing to fret about; it's working the way it's designed to,
though it does seem silly.

If it _doesn't_ come up on its own, then you need to change the order
in which services are started.
To avoid upsetting chkconfig, do this as root:

# chkconfig --del pcmcia

Then edit /etc/init.d/pcmcia, and change the "chkconfig" line to this:

# chkconfig: 2345 05 96

Now do:

# chkconfig pcmcia on

And all will be well.

Perhaps related if your networking hasn't been starting reliably ...
try 'net use z: \\computer\sharename' from a DOS prompt _after_ you're
sure networking is up, and that smb/nmb are running.

Good luck -d
