Subject: pcmciautils: fails to start PCMCIA netcard automatically
Package: pcmciautils
Version: 012-3
Severity: important

*** Please type your report below this line ***
After updating linux-image-2.6-686 from 2.6.12-10 to 2.6.15-4 in Debian testing 
(plus I have some packages from
unstable), my PCMCIA netcard (eth0) is no longer started automatically at boot 
time. I noticed the following message
in /var/log/boot:

"Not starting pcmcia-cs since kernel version >= 2.6.13 and udev is enabled"

This is the only error relevant to my problem that I could find while browsing 
the log files and dmesg. I'm not sure
if this actually is a problem in the pcmciautils package but apparently there's 
something wrong with the way Debian
(udev, pcmciautils, whatever) currently manages my PCMCIA netcard. It used to 
work fine before the kernel upgrade.

Here's the output for "pccardctl ident":

Socket 0:
  no product info available
Socket 1:
  product info: "D-Link", "DE-660+", "", "0004743118001"
  function: 6 (network)

"lsmod" shows that the correct kernel module (pcnet_cs) has been loaded and 
running "ifup eth0" manually brings eth0
up but I'd prefer Debian to start my netcard automatically.
