laptop pccard ethernet

[FreeBSD questions]

I have a laptop with fbsd 4.10.

it seems that altho it boots and recognises the PCMCIA ethernet
card, that it never successfully executes the ifconfig for
IP number and gateway.

I have to enter these two commands manually _after_ it completes
booting, and all ethernet activities are fine after that.

is it possible that during the booting sequence the PC card
recognition is too late in the process? Are the rc.conf command
line entries "order specific". (I always thought that they are noa)t.

Any tips would be appreciated

Jim
