more details...
in /var/log/system I get the following when PCMCIA card is inserted:
---
Sep 3 21:27:57 landy kernel: [17391.803271] pccard: PCMCIA card inserted into
slot 0
Sep 3 21:27:57 landy kernel: [17391.804287] pcmcia: registering new device
pcmcia0.0
Sep 3 21:27:57 landy kernel: [17392.730676] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link
is not ready
---
the last line is repeated whenever I do 'ifup'.
Then when I do 'ifconfig wlan0 up' I get
---
Sep 3 21:31:48 landy kernel: [17695.014722] wlan0: New link status: Connected
(0001)
Sep 3 21:31:48 landy kernel: [17695.014794] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): wlan0:
link becomes ready
---
as I said I'm using mapping. /etc/network/interfaces contains
---
auto wlan0
mapping wlan0
script /sbin/essidscan
map home wlan0-home
iface wlan0-home inet dhcp
wireless-mode Managed
wireless-essid home
wireless-key XXXXXXXXXX
---
The same 'interfaces' file works with another laptop with a built in (PCI,
Prism2), so the problem is related to PCMCIA devices (I think).
Cheers,
Simon.
