Bug 95072 – pcmcia-cs-3.2.8.ebuild (Update) Patched for allowing vanilla behavor

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Kelly Price 2005-06-04 15:19:26 UTC]

Heya.  Attached is a full ebuild for allowing pcmcia-cs's packaged "network" handler script to be used, instead of Gentoo's own "network" script.

Advantages:
* Stock script allows for full schemes, vital in networks (including wireless) where the laptop is on a fixed IP address and DHCP can't be modified (eazily -- see an unmodded Linksys WRT54G).

Disadvantages:
* Stock script has it's network configuration in /etc/pcmcia/network.opts, which onto itself is a bit confusing.  Hopefully a non-issue once a helper application is written.

This ebuild is a drop-in replacement, and introduces the "nohook" USE flag to prevent the Gentoo network script from being installed.

Thanks. I'll consider adding support for using the 'vanilla' network script, but
under USE=vanilla instead of USE=nohook to be in sync with similar USE flags for
packages in portage.

After some chat with brix here over the USE flags, I do support "vanilla" over
"nohook" now.

I've added this to sys-apps/pcmcia-cs-3.2.8-r1. Thanks a lot :)
