Hello! I just upgraded my notebook from hamm to slink and noticed that there seems to be still some strange behaviour with PCMCIA network cards. The symptom is that the network isn't initialised correctly. This was solved by moving the PCMCIA scripts in /etc/rc?.d/ somewhere before the network startup scripts. But there still remained another problem. The cardmgr couldn't stop the network when the card was removed and so couldn't initialise it again when the card was inserted again. When I stopped the network manually (ifconfig eth0 down) the card could be removed correctly. Looking at /etc/pcmcia/network showed that it contained commands already or also executed in /etc/init.d/network . So I made my own taylor-made /etc/pcmcia/network script which contained something like this: .... #starting the network ifconfig eth0 up /etc/init.d/network ... #stopping the network ifconfig eth0 down .... This now works fine. Is this a known problem or may I have produced this bug by myself?
