I don't think you did anything wrong.  In fact, I think you found the 
problem.  The boot order is wacky.  Have pcmcia start *before* network.  
What I would do (in RedHat 9.0 or Fedora Core) is boot into single user 
mode, cd to /etc/rc3.d, change the start order, then reboot.  For 
example, if you see "S10network" make sure pcmcia has a lower number 
like S09pcmcia.  If it doesn't just do a move command to rename the 
symbolic link.  Example, "mv S15pcmcia S09pcmcia".
