[Solved]pcmcia card problem

Hi, i want to add an extra ethernet card on my laptop. I have tested 2 PCMCIA cards and them do not appear in ifconfig listing. I tried them in ubuntu and there all works fine.
More info:

dmesq when i pluged the card in ARCH

Thank you for your help, i want to understend what is the difrence betwen the 2 distros in this case, is not this a kernel thing and should be the same on all linux distros?

I found the answer onn IRC #archlinux
my eth1 was down and i had to bring it up , i learn something new today, "ifconfig -a " lists alll the interfaces
