[ale] Why eth0 delayed?

On this IBM ThinkPad i1512 at boot time, I see something like this go by:

Starting eth0...
Delaying starting eth0      [FAILED]

After booting, I am able to start eth0 via usernet or ifup.  In
control-panel, I have set up eth0 to activate at boot time.  How can I get
eth0 to start properly when I boot?  Might it have something to do with the
sequence of events w.r.t. when PCMCIA services start?  If it turns out that
PCMCIA services are trying to start AFTER eth0, how can I change the order?
