Description adrian 2000-07-06 00:40:00 UTC 
	/etc/pccard_ether does not look for start_if.* scripts for each 
	configured interface as is done in rc.network.  This is needed
	for devices like the Aironet wireless NIC's, because you need
	to set some device options, .e.g. SSID or ad-hoc/infrastructure 
	mode, before you can begin talking to the remote end.

Fix: Apply this patch which makes pccard_ether look for a start_if.*
	script for pre-ifconfig device settings in the same manner 
	as rc.network.
How-To-Repeat: 
	Try using an Aironet PCCARD where the default device options are
	not usable.
