It's not. you need to purge it, then install it.

Doh... Unfortunately doing a _real_ reinstall buggers up /etc/default/pcmcia (reset PCIC="i82365", which is wrong).

Still, the difference between my network.opts and the proper one isn't the problem since we see ifup not working...

Get rid of hotplug, it's getting there 'first'.

Yeah, that's it. It's a problem - since I need hotplug for the USB, but I need it much less than I need pcmcia. This is presumably why the sid version of pcmcia-cs specifically skips doing ifup/ifdown if it finds the hotplug program. I'm not sure why the ifup from hotplug wasn't doing the job successfully, but it's working now. I'll wait until the next versions of pcmcia-cs & hotplug get out of sid before trying them together again.

Thanks all for the help...
