 Hi Vagrant,
 does this error still occur with more recent kernel versions?
 
 If you're running Etch, could you try to reproduce this bug
 with the 2.6.24 based kernel added in 4.0r4?

i haven't been using that machine for a while(lent it to some freinds), but i
could find it again, try with the 2.6.24 kernel, and then upgrade to lenny and
try with that, too.

though, now that i think of it, i may have done a fresh etch install and it may
have been working fine... apologies for being so vague.

if i don't come up with anything in a couple weeks, feel
free to close this bug. or just go ahead and close it.

live well,
  vagrant

Severity: normal

so, i've got this old pcmcia wireless card, and the strange thing is
that it doesn't work until i insert a usb ethernet device. i don't know
what could be causing this behavior ... 

from my syslog:

Feb  2 11:10:00 ghig kernel: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): eth0: link is not
ready
Feb  2 11:10:04 ghig kernel: eth0: New link status: Connected (0001)

Feb  2 11:10:04 ghig kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using
uhci_hcd and address 2
Feb  2 11:10:05 ghig kernel: usb 1-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1
choice
Feb  2 11:10:05 ghig kernel: pegasus: v0.6.13 (2005/11/13),
Pegasus/Pegasus II USB Ethernet driver
Feb  2 11:10:05 ghig kernel: pegasus 1-1:1.0: setup Pegasus II specific
registers
Feb  2 11:10:05 ghig kernel: pegasus 1-1:1.0: eth1, D-Link DSB-650TX,
00:40:05:8e:d4:a0
Feb  2 11:10:05 ghig kernel: usbcore: registered new driver pegasus

if i don't insert the usb ethernet device, i can wait 5-10 hours and
still not get the ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready
message. i've tried at least a dozen times over the past couple months,
and it seems reproduceable on my system.

could somehow the link status on the usb ethernet device trigger some
sort of link status event for the pcmcia wireless card?

certainly got me a little confused.
