Bug 22072 – on a unstable system ~x86 cardmgr loads the appropriate modules(prism2_cs, p80211) for the Netgear MA401 pcmcia wireless card, but the network script isn't executed to bring the interface wlan0 up.

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description David M. Sinclair 2003-06-01 19:35:56 UTC]

i've even edited the /etc/pcmcia/config file manually and added:

device "prism2_cs"
  class "network" module "prism2_cs"

but cardmgr doesn't react at all... the network script isn't executed.

if i unplug the card and stick it in again i get the same result... modules are
loaded but no script is executed.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. build an ~x86 system, emerge pcmcia-cs and linux-wlan-ng and update-modules
2. edit /etc/conf.d/net and make it use iface_wlan0="dhcp"
3. cp /etc/init.d/net.eth0 /etc/init.d/net.wlan0
4. add 'depend() { need pcmcia }' at the top of /etc/init.d/net.wlan0
5. add i82365 and ds to /etc/modules.autoload
6. add pcmcia to the default runlevel 'rc-update add pcmcia default'
Actual Results:  
appropriate modules where loaded(prism2_cs, p80211) but the network script
wasn't executed.

Expected Results:  
cardmgr should have executed the network script to bring the wlan0 interface up.

Still an issue?

[Comment 2 Andrew Cooks (RETIRED) 2003-11-24 06:50:12 UTC]

Please test with latest version of linux-wlan-ng
