Can somebody explain the reasoning behind this bit of
/etc/init.d/pcmcia to me?
if [ -d /lib/modules/preferred ] ; then
PC=/lib/modules/preferred/pcmcia
else
PC=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/pcmcia
fi
KD=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/pcmcia
if [ -d $PC ] ; then
echo -n " modules"
/sbin/insmod $PC/pcmcia_core.o $CORE_OPTS
/sbin/insmod $PC/$PCIC.o $PCIC_OPTS
/sbin/insmod $PC/ds.o
elif [ -d $KD ] ; then
/sbin/modprobe pcmcia_core
/sbin/modprobe $PCIC
/sbin/modprobe ds
else
echo " module directory $PC not found."
break
fi
Neither the "PC" nor the "KD" options works for me.
The "CP" branch fails because insmod is used instead of
modprobe, so modules required for the three explictly loaded
ones don't get auto-loaded. Why isn't modprobe -t <whatever>
used?
The "KD" branch fails because the options specified in
/etc/default/pcmcia aren't passed to the modules. Why are the
options are ignored?
I'd be happy to submit a patch for the script, but since I
don't understand the purpose behind this section, I don't know
if my fix would break things in other situations.
