Description Zach Welch 2005-06-16 19:33:48 UTC 
The alsa-driver ebuilds fail to install some of the files required to use PCMCIA
cards.  Specifically, the pcmcia/*/*.conf files in the package distribution must
be copied to /etc/pcmcia for pcmcia card services to properly load the drivers.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install alsa-drivers.

Actual Results:  
/etc/pcmcia/pdaudiocf.conf does not exist.


Expected Results:  
Install the .conf files into /etc/pcmcia

Starting with 2.6.13-rc1-git3, it is recommended to use pcmciautils instead of
pcmcia-cs instead. If properly set up, the initialization files you mention are
not needed any longer -- the kernel binds drivers to devices itself. See
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-304357.html for details.

Brix can you take care of this?

Take care of what? I do not maintain alsa....
Comment 4 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-12-18 06:57:20 UTC 
pcmciautils would take care, 2.6.14 is stable now.
