I'm glad you found the solution in the BIOS!

More than you need to know...pcmcia card services is initialized in a 
seperate script in RH 9.0, even though the begining of my network script 
shows the same thing as yours.  Notice that both scripts read the 
configs from /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia.  Also, notice the start order and 
runlevels.  Both are set to start in runlevels 2, 3, 4, and 5.  network 
is given the values S10 and K90.  pcmcia is given the values S24 and 
K96.  That means the network script is in fact started and killed before 
the pcmcia script.  (Sorry for the mis-guidence in my quick response.)

From /etc/init.d/network:

# chkconfig: 2345 10 90

if [ ! -f /etc/sysconfig/network ]; then
   exit 0
fi

. /etc/sysconfig/network

if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia ]; then
       . /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
fi


From /etc/init.d/pcmcia:

# chkconfig: 2345 24 96

# Source PCMCIA configuration, if available
if [ -f /etc/pcmcia.conf ] ; then
   # Debian startup option file
   . /etc/pcmcia.conf
elif [ -f /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia ] ; then
   # Red Hat startup option file
   . /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia
else
