That's one way to get around it, but it is the wrong fix: you should not rely on order of execution of the init scripts, because a PCMCIA network card doesn't even need to be present when these scripts are executed. The real problem is that RedHat customized the PCMCIA network configuration script /etc/pcmcia/network, rather than putting their changes in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts file where they belong. The PCMCIA-HOWTO shows how to set up network.opts properly on Red Hat, if you install PCMCIA from scratch. If Red Hat just updated their PCMCIA tweaks, this would never be an issue. And I reported this to them YEARS ago.
