Changing "boot" order of PCMCIA service

bowlingd · 10-07-2004, 01:59 PM

Is it possible to change the order at which services are started at boot-up? My problem is that the system (Fedora Core 2) tries to start my wireless card before the pcmcia service starts, and therefor, basically my wireless network card won't work unless I deactivate it and then reactivate it and reboot.

I need to change my system so that pcmcia starts before the system goes looking for my wireless card.

Thanks for any help anyone can give....

Navigate to /etc/rc.d/rc5.d/

find "Sxxpcmcia" where "xx" is a 2 digit number, rename Sxxpcmcia to an unused number before the "Sxx" number of "Sxxnetwork". for example, I changed the name of mine from "S15pcmcia" to "S07pcmcia" because i had "S10network"

reboot, and you should be all set.
