Package: pcmcia-cs
Version: 3.2.8-5.2
Severity: important
Recently my orinoco-based card stoped being brought up. When looking for
the problem I discovered the following in my /etc/default/pcmcia:
# If REFRAIN_FROM_IFUP is set to yes, cardmgr will not bring up
# network interfaces. They should be brought up by hotplug instead.
# Since this is an upgrade from an old version of pcmcia-cs, it
# retains the old behaviour. Please read
# /usr/share/doc/pcmcia-cs/README.Debian and then uncomment the
# following line.
#REFRAIN_FROM_IFUP=yes
However, that does not work (the interface is not brought up). When
reading the README suggested, the solution there does not work either:
mapping hotplug
script grep
map eth0
A hint as where to find solution is in /usr/share/doc/hotplug/README.Debian
* To make it enable for hotplug to control network interfaces,
you list such interfaces on allow- stanzas in /etc/network/interfaces.
see interfaces(5), ifup(8) and Bug#303383
Finally the manpage interfaces(5) recomends:
allow-hotplug eth1
This finally works.
