Not sure if this is Caldera specific 

Forum: PCMCIA Network Adapter Issues
Re: Question: DHCP with PCMCIA (Christopher Keller)

I don't think it is possible to narrow down the problem based on just
this information.  Are you sure that dhcpcd is being started prior to
when PCMCIA loads?  (are there system log messages from a second copy
of dhcpcd?)  I am not familiar with Caldera, but to the extent it is
based on Red Hat, I know that Red Hat checks for and delays startup of
a PCMCIA network device to avoid exactly this problem.  It would be
strange for Caldera to have un-done this.

Another simple thing to try, is to boot with the card out, then plug
it in and see what happens.  That will distinguish between various
sorts of boot-time sequencing problems, and PCMCIA startup problems.

The timing here concerns me, because it looks like dhcpcd may be
having trouble because the card has a delay before it has properly
sensed the link speed.

Message Administration

This form allows you to delete, move, or copy one or more messages. You can move messages by copying and deleting the original. The action will be applied to the messages you select above and all replies to those selected messages.

If you want to copy or move messages, specify the HyperNews path of a destination forum or message that all messages will be copied or moved to. The destination must already exist, so maybe create it first.

Path of Destination (a Forum or Message): (e.g. "test")

Notify Subscribers at destination
NO

If you want to delete messages (the default), specify that here. If you want to move messages, you need to delete the original messages; placeholders will be left pointing to where they were moved.

Delete Messages
NO

Caution: After deleteing messages (the default), if you have not copied them (i.e. no destination above), then the selected messages are not be recoverable.
