Hi all!
I recently installed knoppix 3.9 on my girl friend`s laptop (debian like installation) and found the following
problem.
KDE starts really slow if the pcmcia network card is connected to our router.
After some investigation I found out the loopback device is not started.
Starting it by invoking
ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1
makes KDE work again.
As I am not used to debian I am not sure where I have to look to get the loopback device working
automatically.
It works well if the pcmcia card is not connected on startup.
Any help is appreciated.
