I have the following problems with the new pcmcia-cs package: 1) Default settings that used to be in /etc/init.d/pcmcia (PCIC) are no longer set in /etc/pcmcia.conf. 2) /etc/init.d/pcmcia used to insmod the required modules (pcmcia_core, ds). This does not happen anymore causing the following error to be displayed: * You need to load the pcmcia modules () and ds) * in order for cardmgr to start.
I didn't touch these things in -r3. I'm guessing they were changed in -r2 or earlier? It's really hard for me to work with this package as I don't have a laptop.
Something very strange is going on here. When I look at the original /etc/init.d/pcmcia file on my system, I can see it is not a standard gentoo script but rather the original file that ships with the PCMCIA-CS distribution. Is it possible that the gentoo script went in by mistake? Here are the first few lines of the pcmcia script that works properly. You can see it is not a gentoo startup script: #!/bin/sh # rc.pcmcia 1.39 2001/10/04 12:30:05 (David Hinds) # # This is designed to work in BSD as well as SysV init setups.

chadh submitted a new gentoo-specific script, but it breaks a bit. I'll get to the bottom of this during the weekend.
Yep. I am the culprit. After speaking with drobbins, we decided to remove the module loading from the init script. I also moved the environment variables to /etc/conf.d/pcmcia, which is more appropriate, IMO. A definite bug is that I didn't know how to determine if pcmcia_core, yenta_socket/i82365, and ds were compiled into the kernel. I can tell if the modules are loaded, but not if they are compiled in.
pcmcia-cs-3.1.31-r4 is now available and should address all these issues.
