Package: linux-image-2.6.18-4-vserver-686
Version: 2.6.18.dfsg.1-10
Severity: normal

so, i've got this old pcmcia wireless card, and the strange thing is
that it doesn't work until i insert a usb ethernet device. i don't know
what could be causing this behavior ... 

from my syslog:

Feb  2 11:10:00 ghig kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not
ready
Feb  2 11:10:04 ghig kernel: eth0: New link status: Connected (0001)
Feb  2 11:10:04 ghig kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes
ready
Feb  2 11:10:04 ghig kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using
uhci_hcd and address 2
Feb  2 11:10:05 ghig kernel: usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1
choice
Feb  2 11:10:05 ghig kernel: pegasus: v0.6.13 (2005/11/13),
Pegasus/Pegasus II USB Ethernet driver
Feb  2 11:10:05 ghig kernel: pegasus 1-1:1.0: setup Pegasus II specific
registers
Feb  2 11:10:05 ghig kernel: pegasus 1-1:1.0: eth1, D-Link DSB-650TX,
00:40:05:8e:d4:a0
Feb  2 11:10:05 ghig kernel: usbcore: registered new driver pegasus

if i don't insert the usb ethernet device, i can wait 5-10 hours and
still not get the "ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready"
message. i've tried at least a dozen times over the past couple months,
and it seems reproduceable on my system.

could somehow the link status on the usb ethernet device trigger some
sort of link status event for the pcmcia wireless card?

certainly got me a little confused.

Let's just close them, then.
