One more comment... (actually, an elaboration on another potential PCMCIA
issue)
I now recall that I moved "pcmcia" earlier in the boot sequence because
services that started and expected there to be a network already were not
happy (they ran after 'network' but before 'pcmcia').
I checked Redhat's bug-tracking database. Many people have reported a
similar annoyance with network-dependent services not working because
pcmcia started so late, relatively. People alternatively moved pcmcia
earlier, or the offending network services later. RedHat does not
currently plan to do anything about this.
I don't remember which network services took issue with the delayed eth0
initialization... Camilla might, though, since she suggested that fix
in the first place.
