Re: laptop, anacron and lan :
Thank you for your reply.
What you propose may work fine if you plug/unplug
your pcmcia card.
But, as in my case,
it is usless if you let permanently you card in its plug:
with realport card pluging means pluging the cable to the card.
Any more idea ?
Thanks in advance,
Jerome
