Just so you know, we only support the layered product insofar as we
will fix bugs in our own packages; we don't try to fix arbitrary Red
Hat problems. But since this bug applies equally well to the full
Athena release, I wno't reject it out of hand.

Anything other than looking up wslogger.mit.edu in S30syslog?
I've also noticed that S45pcmcia doesn't always succeed in starting up
network devices, although I haven't tracked down the precise bug. I'm
not sure why Red Hat doesn't just start up pcmcia at S09 before the
network.
Perhaps our Linux person should send a bug report to Red Hat about
this; if nothing else, we might get a clarification.
