Package: pcmcia-cs
Version: 3.2.8-5.2
Severity: important
REFRAIN_FROM_IFUP is set to yes but cardmgr still brings up the
interface with its network script.

Nov 20 16:09:09 lenox cardmgr[829]: socket 1: NE2000 Compatible Ethernet
Nov 20 16:09:09 lenox kernel: eth0: NE2000 Compatible: io 0x300, irq 3,
hw_addr 00:E0:9

2>&1'
Nov 20 16:09:09 lenox cardmgr[829]: + Sample private network setup

Another problem is that it doesn't bring down the interface correctly:
---
Nov 20 15:59:49 lenox cardmgr[829]: executing: 'modprobe -r pcnet_cs
2>&1'
Nov 20 15:59:49 lenox cardmgr[829]: + pcnet_cs: Device or resource busy
Nov 20 15:59:49 lenox cardmgr[829]: modprobe exited with status 1
---
So there is the interface configuration left and if you plugin the card
again it wants to configure another non-existent network interface.
So I have to use command ifdown eth0 before I can plugin the card again.
But I have installed hotplug and corresponding to documentation it is
intended that hotplug configures the network cards.
/etc/default/pcmcia:
---
# Defaults for pcmcia (sourced by /etc/init.d/pcmcia)
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=yenta_socket
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS=
# 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
---
/etc/network/interfaces:
---
auto lo
allow-hotplug eth0
mapping hotplug
script grep
map eth0
iface lo inet loopback
# This entry was created during the Debian installation
iface eth0 inet dhcp

Thanks.
