autoloading module for pcmcia network card
Hi!
After I finally broke off the adaptor-cable of my old network-card, I now have
a new noname 8139-based one.
Problem is, that the cardmgr can find and activate the card, but does not load
the required modules or start the interface. The card works just fine, if I
modprobe the 8139too-module and configure the interface by hand, but I'd
rather have this happen automatically, like it worked with my old card.
The following gets logged to /var/log/messages when I do /etc/init.d/pcmcia
start:

Apr 2 14:42:52 flyer kernel: cs: IO port probe 0x0a00-0x0aff: clean.
I tried adding the following lines to /etc/pcmcia/config:
device "8139too"
class "network" module "net/8139too"
card "NoName 10/100"
manfid 0x10ec, 0x8139
bind "8139too"
but obviously those don't do the trick.
How do I get the cardmgr to automatically load the 8139too-module and set up
eth0 (this is debian/testing, kernel 2.4.20)?
Thanks for any help!
Thomas
