Another pcmcia-cs (with DMI support etc.)
Hi again,
I have now made another version of pcmcia-cs. Apart from having
integrated the suggestions from Osamu, I have also switched
debian/rules to using debhelper and added automatic detection of
special resource settings using dmidecode. There is no support for
this detection in d-i yet though since there's no dmidecode-udeb (but
I have sent a patch, #259265).
However, pcmcia-cs is currently only recommending dmidecode, not
depending on it. The reason is that I don't want to break the netinst
CD. How do I get a package on the netinst CD? File a bug against
debian-cd? I'd also like to make debootstrap install dmidecode as soon
as I have a patch ready for tasksel.
In any case, I'd be very happy if you could test this package so I can
upload it. It would be especially interesting if you have a laptop
which requires special resource settings so that we can see if the
detection code works (just remember that you need to install dmidecode
and remove /etc/pcmcia/config.opts first). The package is available at
the [1]same place as before.
