I produced an updated patch already for that. 8)

That'll be a race between cardmgr and hotplug.  Hotplug now has the
responsibility to bring up network devices, so your PCMCIA network
script (/etc/pcmcia/network) should ignore the 'start' action.

I thought most distributions already do this.  Red Hat certainly
do because the same behaviour exists in 2.4 kernels.

The updated patch is in last nights 2.6.4 -mm kernel (I think that's
2.6.4-rc2-mm1.)
