In the /etc/init.d/pcmcia script, there is some code that replaces
the value yenta_socket with i82365 in the PCIC variable when the kernel
version is 2.4.x. I have disabled this override more than one notebook
installations in which the i82365 kernel module actually did not work
while the yenta_socket module worked just fine.
I don't have my notebook here right now, so I cannot give you the
precise code, but I remember that there is a comment reading
"yenta_socket -> i82365 on these systems" in the pcmcia startup
script.
Can anyone comment on why the script overrides the settings made in
the configuration file (i.e. /etc/default/pcmcia, I think)? I remember
that I found this behaviour rather irritating when I first encountered
it and figured it out.
Greetinx, Jan
