i am not knowingly fighting any evolutions in pcmcia-cs. i tried
switching it to use /etc/network/interfaces, and insmod instead of
modprobe when it finds $PC. it failed again with:
---
Apr 24 02:25:18 density cardmgr[26054]: starting, version is 3.1.33
Apr 24 02:25:18 density cardmgr[26054]: watching 1 sockets
Apr 24 02:25:18 density cardmgr[26054]: Card Services release does not
match
---
and that's it.
if i switched the insmods to modprobes as below, it would then proceed
to see both sockets, load the modules for the card, and actually fire
off 2 dhclients, which doesn't seem right either. i tried both
DHCP="n" and DHCP="y" in my /etc/pcmcia/network.opts. with the same
effect.
my change to /etc/init.d/pcmcia:
---
if [ -d $PC ] ; then
echo -n " modules"
#/sbin/insmod $PC/pcmcia_core.o $CORE_OPTS
#/sbin/insmod $PC/$PCIC.o $PCIC_OPTS
#/sbin/insmod $PC/ds.o
/sbin/modprobe pcmcia_core
/sbin/modprobe $PCIC
/sbin/modprobe ds
elif [ -d $KD ] ; then
/sbin/modprobe pcmcia_core
/sbin/modprobe $PCIC
/sbin/modprobe ds
else
echo " module directory $PC not found."
break
fi
---
taking the eth0 line out of /etc/network/interfaces kept dhclient from
running multiple times.
so i don't think my issue pertains to which way dhclient gets called,
but more with the way the script decides to load the initial modules.
a simple change from insmod to modprobe fixed it.
i would be interested in seeing how to properly have the scripts call
dhclient through /etc/network/interfaces. i'll have to investigate
that further.
