Bug#369416: Further efforts to get wireless back up
Hi,
I noticed that the new version of the kernel did not like the pcmcia-cs.
Since the Oronico wireless card is connected via an internal pcmcia bus
I hoped that updating to pcmciautils would help. I removed pcmcia-cs and
installed pcmciautils 013-1 with the recommended sysfsutils 2.0.07 and
module-init-tools 3.2.2 then rebooted. Now, I am glad not to get the
ugly warnings about deprecated pcmcia and dmesg of boot log shows that
the wireless card is recognized by the driver :
pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into slot 2
cs: memory probe 0xf4000000-0xfbffffff: excluding 0xf4000000-0xf8ffffff
0xfa000000-0xfbffffff
pcmcia: registering new device pcmcia2.0

A little google searching with "orinoco kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP):"
shows that I am not alone in the world; see:

My bet is that it is a driver issue but I have no idea how to go about
deducing the cause. I tried:
# ifconfig eth2 up
# strace dhcpcd eth2
but this was not helpful...
