I use a wireless PCMCIA card to connect to my network, so I use a lot the scripts in /etc/pcmcia. I found that the /etc/pcmcia/network is broken because it calls "./shared" without any argument which causes "./shared" to show an 'usage' message. Same applies when /etc/pcmcia/network tries to call "./wireless". I just added a $* to the calls of these external scripts to solve the issue, am I not understanding how it should work, or are these really broken ? Regard, Stephane
looking at other scripts in /etc/pcmcia they also donot specify any arguments to the calls to ./shared or /etc/pcmcia/shared... How is this supposed to work ? are arguments send to the other scripts automatically ? I would doubt it.
I don't quite understand this myself, but as no errors are sent to the logs, it seems to work fine when cardmgr starts the network script. At any rate, this is not a Gentoo bug, so I am closing it.
