I reinstalled pcmcia-cs and pcmcia-source, turned PCMCIA off in the kernel, recompiled the kernel, tried to recompile pcmcia-source, and it failed first on errors in 'wireless', so I just got rid of that, then on 'no target for install'. At which point I decided it wasn't worth the headache since I _know_ pcmcia works, I just needed to get it to execute. So seeing that syslog shows, first, modprobe errors for 8390, pcnet_cs and serial_cs, and follows immediately with a kernel message saying "NE2000 compatible found", then a debug message from "hotplug" showing that ifup didn't do anything, I went into /etc/network/interfaces, added an "iface eth0" and "pre-up /etc/pcmcia/network start eth0" and it works perfectly. This is proof of clean living :-) because I really had no good reason to install hotplug in the first place. I did have to fix the buggy line in the latest unstable pcmcia-cs which made it impossible for /etc/pcmcia/network to ever do anything. The end result is that I'm still using pcmcia compiled into the kernel & I might just go back to an earlier more stable pcmcia-cs...and I'm still not sure whether I've done this right - but getting it in the ifup process seems a lot better than boot time. -- derek -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
