Chuck,
I'm pretty sure that S is synonymous for single user mode (init 1). If
indeed you are in runlevel 5 (execute the command "runlevel" in the root
shell path) then I would try running it by hand first
(/etc/init.d/networking start) then add the symlink if it fixes your
problem. The weird thing is that you say it tries to set it up but
fails. That would suggest that the init is crossing something that
tries to set the card up. You said it's a pcmcia card right?? Maybe
S15pcmcia is doing something....
