Description Owen Gunden 2003-09-06 18:19:41 UTC
since pcmcia_cs installs kernel drivers, it ought to do depmod -a otherwise the
modules can't be found.  

If this isn't possible, it could at least do an ewarn in pkg_postinst() telling
the user to do so herself.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. remove all pcmcia drivers from the kernel
2. emerge pcmcia_cs
3. /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
Actual Results:  
don't have the exact error, but basically it can't find the module
pcmcia_core.o, even though it's been installed by the pcmcia_cs package.

Expected Results:  
started with no module err0rs.

Portage 2.0.48-r5 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1)

Okay, this is fixed in pcmcia-cs-3.2.5-r1 and 3.2.7 which are in portage. 3.2.5-r1 will be marked stable soon.
