Description Shahar Goldin 2003-10-18 17:07:06 UTC

/etc/init.d/pcmcia start 
apparently starts cardmgr, and gets my netcard working (dhcpcd eth0)
/etc/init.d/pcmcia stop 
apparently stops cardmgr

This is problematic because if I accidentally pull out my network card
(dongleless... it's easier than it seems :-P) and try to restart pcmcia, it
can't because the device is still busy because dhcpcd is using it.
it SHOULD stop net.eth0, shouldn't it?


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.start pcmcia 
2.pull and plug in a pcmcia network card that was initiated by pcmcia
3.attempt to restart pcmcia

Actual Results:  
# /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
modprobe: Can't locate module ds
 * Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[7141]: open_sock(socket 0) failed: Device or resource busy
cardmgr[7141]: another cardmgr is already running?
 * cardmgr failed to start.  Make sure that you have PCMCIA
 * modules built or support compiled into the kernel                      [ !! ]


Expected Results:  
# /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart
modprobe: Can't locate module ds
 * Starting pcmcia...
cardmgr[28206]: watching 2 sockets                                        [ ok ]

There should be no need to restart pcmcia... the error you're getting is because cardmgr is still running. cardmgr monitors the slots for insert and removals... it does not stop because you pulled out the card. It's still running so you get the error that the socket is already used because there's already a version of it running. Also the missing module ds isn't really a good error to have.

Reporter, please check if sys-apps/pcmcia-3.2.8 fixes this issue.

Closing due to lack of feedback.
