In the pcmcia-cs package there's the cardmgr program that, if I understand correctly, reads /etc/pcmcia/config* files on startup. Then when a card is inserted cardmgr matches the card to a device id (from the config file(s)) and load modules. It then loads the associated "class" script -- which is the network.opts script you mentioned, and if nothing matches there (on Debian) ifup or ifdown is called. And as you say, ifup/ifdown use /etc/network/interfaces to configure things. But then I see you have a "mapping hotplug" stanza. So is hotplug managing your pcmcia card inserts? That is, what's confusing me is I though pcmcia-cs (i.e. cardmgr) handled this, yet you are showing a stanza defined for hotplug events. In my network.opts script I modified it to bring down eth0 before bringing up the wireless interface (eth1 in my case), and when the card is removed call ifup eth0. What I'd like to figure out is how to not bring up eth0 unless a cable is plugged in. I'm having so many problems with wireless now. I think my hardware must be failing as I'm having the same problems with different drivers. Lately when I remove my wireless card my machine will freeze hard. Seems like these problems started with upgrading to 2.6.5, but I also suspect my wireless hardware is failing since I often have to hard reset my AP. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
