Pcmcia Starting the network

1997-10-14 Thread Matthew Tebbens

I'm trying to start the network after cardmgr starts, but cardmgr takes
too long and network dies because it can't find eth0.

Is there a way to execute /etc/init.d/network ONLY after cardmgr completes ?

This way I don't have to be around during a reboot !

Thanks,
Matthew

It's a disgusting hack, but you could put /etc/init.d/network at the end of
your cardmgr initialization code (and remove S##network from rc#.d).  It
would probably work but would offend my (and most sysadms) sense of order
and/or propriety.  HTH (and please don't tell anyone I suggested it).

What I actually did was almost the same ! :)
I added a 'sleep 3' right after cardmgr to give it some time to start.
CardMgr debian package DOES try to start './network start eth0' but its
not working for some reason, probably in the wrong dir or something.
Anyways, I was not gonna re-compile and spend hours configureing it
or I would go nuts if it didn't configure the first time. :)

A 'sleep 3' right after CardMgr works just fine.

I would suggest the Package Maintainer try to update to the latest
version, and fix up the scripts a bit. At the very least have the script
wait a few seconds after starting cardmgr for just this reason. Theres
no other fix then 'sleep' to the scripts right now..I think..

Thanks for the response !
Matthew
