You could try using the --hint option to pass a location to whereami. For example: - call whereami from pcmcia exit with --hint pcmcia_stop - in detect.conf: if pcmcia_stop else testmodlue wlan_cs wlan fi That should prevent the wlan location from being set if in the stop hook. The arrangement would have to be a little more complicated if you have more than one pcmcia card (maybe add a second hint which is the name of the card to the whereami hook?) > > > On lwe I've seen on Chris' laptop, that whereami was triggered when he > > > plugged the ethernet cable?!

Erm, sorry I must have tricked you into thinking that happened automatically :) but that isn't the case :( . If I remember correctly, I typed 'whereami' after unplugging/plugging the cable in to trigger the detection and showed you the output on screen (or maybe that was someone else). There are hooks into apm (see /etc/whereami/apm.conf) so that you can run whereami when the machine wakes up. I always make sure that the network cable is plugged in before I wake the machine up; if I forget and plug in the cable afterwards I run whereami manually. Chris
