Hi all! I have 2 problems!
First problem:
When I start my debian laptop, I boot the modules first and the daemons afterwards. As usual. But, in order for my /etc/init.d/networking script to find my eth0 nic, which is a PCMCIA card, cardmgr has to be started. And since my
networking script is started before my cardmgr-daemon, It will not find my eth0, which makes it necessary for my to login as root and do '/etc/init.d/networking restart', for enabling my eth0 nick.
Remove the line "auto eth0" from /etc/network/interfaces.
The network configuration for the pcmcia-cs package is done in the file
/etc/pcmcia/network.opts. Look at the predefined environment variables here. If the cardmgr enables eth0, it also calls
/etc/pcmcia/network start eth0
And if eth0 is disabled (unplugging the CARD, closing laptop etc.), it calls
/etc/pcmcia/network stop eth0
For kernel 2.6, you should use hotplug for managing the PCMCIA cards (CardBus) and the hotplug system will do a
ifup eth0=hotplug
or
ifdown eth0
So in this case, you should configure a logical interface "hotplug" in the /etc/network/interfaces.
If you need more advise, just ask.
Cheers, J�rg
