I did a 'Beginner" HD install of the 5.0.1 DVD. Running it from the DVD, everything worked fine, on my Dell Latitude CPx J750GT, and not only was the pcmcia ethernet card found, but it was brought up and worked fine.

Once I installed it to the harddrive however, the card is found, eth0 is recognised, but the interface isn't brought up. If I run netcardconfig, it brings up the interface just fine and configures it via dhcp.

How do I configure the system to do this automatically, in the future, so I can skip this manual step?

Thanks.
