Builtin eth0, or pcmcia? If it's PCMCIA, you may need to edit your
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts file - or if you would rather simply use the
existing /etc/network/interfaces setup, consider putting an "ifdown eth0;
ifup eth0" in the start_fn() function there. Otherwise, add an additional
init script to rc2.d to do the same *after* pcmcia has been started.
If the eth0 is builtin, and "ifdown eth0; ifup eth0" fixes it, then I'd
question how the interface is being brought up in the first place.
That is odd.
