pcmcia-cs is badly broken for Woody. Network services won't restart
after upgrading. Multiple configuration issues seem to be at stake.
For history, see:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=133968
The problems are multiple. My fix was to back-pull configuration
information from Potato.
- The driver is configured to load yenta_socket. This is a 2.4
kernel feature, not present in 2.2. The current installation
process doesn't properly distinguish between kernel versions and/or
configure pcmcia properly. Seems to me the proper way to do this
is at pcmcia load time, as a system may run multiple kernels.
Brian's (package maintainer) notes on the bug above indicate that
this may be his intent. It's not what he's packaged.
- I also had to back-rev the specific driver for my card (Linksys
NP100) from the configured driver:
card "Linksys NP100 Network Everywhere Ethernet"
version "Network Everywhere", "*", "*", "AX88190"
# manfid 0x0149, 0xc1ab
bind "axnet_cs"
# Added KMSelf Fri Feb 15 16:52:15 PST 2002
card "Linksys NP100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet"
version "Network Everywhere", "Fast Ethernet 10/100 PC Card", "2.0", " "
# manfid 0x0149, 0xc1ab
bind "pcnet_cs"
Discussion on the bug report suggests that this may be a
versioning/dependencies problem. The files required are in, e.g.:
pcmcia-modules-2.2.20_3.1.31-5k2_i386.deb contains the file. I've got
3.1.22-0.2potatok4potato.5 installed, with no dependency conflicts
indicated.
The fact that this is a box upgraded from potato to woody is probably
also a factor.
Peace.
