[driverloader] eth0 disabled after start up (Suse 9, DWL-G650+)

It seems as if the startmode is fixed in suse 9, it's hotplug by default. Anyway, starting the network service actually AFTER pcmcia solved the problem. 

I did a mv /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S05network /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S09network

My ls /etc/init.d/rc5.d/S* is now 
S01isdn     S08pcmcia   S10smbfs         S14alsasound  S14xntpd     S15postfix  S18nscd
S01random   S08resmgr   S10splash_early  S14fbset      S15cpufreqd  S15splash   S19crypto
S06syslog   S09network  S10vmware        S14mysql      S15cups      S18cron     S19splash_late
S07hotplug  S10portmap  S14acpid         S14sshd       S15kbd       S18hwscan   S19xdm

So network is now started after hotplug (S07) and pcmcia (S08).
