pcmcia-cs is badly broken for Woody. Network services won't restart after upgrading. Multiple configuration issues seem to be at stake. For history, see: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=133968 The problems are multiple. My fix was to back-pull configuration information from Potato. - The driver is configured to load yenta_socket. This is a 2.4 kernel feature, not present in 2.2. The current installation process doesn't properly distinguish between kernel versions and/or configure pcmcia properly. Seems to me the proper way to do this is at pcmcia load time, as a system may run multiple kernels. Brian's (package maintainer) notes on the bug above indicate that this may be his intent. It's not what he's packaged. - I also had to back-rev the specific driver for my card (Linksys NP100) from the configured driver: card "Linksys NP100 Network Everywhere Ethernet" version "Network Everywhere", "*", "*", "AX88190" # manfid 0x0149, 0xc1ab bind "axnet_cs" # Added KMSelf Fri Feb 15 16:52:15 PST 2002 card "Linksys NP100 Network Everywhere Fast Ethernet" version "Network Everywhere", "Fast Ethernet 10/100 PC Card", "2.0", " " # manfid 0x0149, 0xc1ab bind "pcnet_cs" Discussion on the bug report suggests that this may be a versioning/dependencies problem. The files required are in, e.g.: pcmcia-modules-2.2.20_3.1.31-5k2_i386.deb contains the file. I've got 3.1.22-0.2potatok4potato.5 installed, with no dependency conflicts indicated. The fact that this is a box upgraded from potato to woody is probably also a factor. Peace. -- Karsten M.
