    Hi, Claude.

    Your suggestion could be a useful kludge if we can guarantee that
    Cardbus machines only every have a single interface (possibly
    reasonable).

    An alternative and similarly tasteless kludge is to hardwire eth0 into
    the pcmcia scripts. There is a description of how to do this at
    http://www.uow.edu.au/~andrewm/linux/3c59x-2.3-changelog.txt (of all
    places).

    It says:

    - Kernel 2.3.99 has broken the PCMCIA tools. When a card is
    inserted the 'cardmgr' daemon is no longer told what network
    interface it has been bound to. Until this is sorted, the
    kludgearound I am using is to alter the PCMCIA script
    /etc/pcmcia/shared:
