when I try to bring my wlan card up with "net.eth0 start"(orinoco_cs driver from
pcmcia_cs, prism2 chipset) using dhcp, I get the error message that the
interface was not plugged or had no carrier.

Obviously the script tests whether "ifconfig eth0" includes the keyword
"RUNNING". My wlan interface doesn't include this keyword as long as it is not up.

If I remove this test (and set the net.eth0 internal variable carrier_IFACE to
running, everything works fine.

this is baselayout 1.8.6.12

Reproducible: Always
