How do I get "dhcpcd eth0" to execute when I plug in my PCMCIA network card?

look in /etc/init.d/net.eth0. About 10 lines down, you'll see

Code:
depend() {
     need pcmcia
}


or at least that's how it should look. the line need pcmcia, tells init that pcmcia is needed for this script /etc/net.eth0 to work properly so it will load the pcmcia drivers first.

then load /etc/conf.d/net. About 15 lines down, you should see

Code:
iface_eth0="dhcp"


this line tells the net.eth0 script to use dhcp to set up your network card. Make sure you have dhcpcd emerged.
