> Ah, it does to me. What does PCMCIA do?
The PCMCIA kernel code reads the tuples that identify the card. They are
passed to the daemon. That looks in the table of devices to find which
driver to load (remember that PCMCIA lacks the USB generic classes of
driver sanity). The driver is loaded then bound to the PCMCIA stuff. Then
the scripts for it are kicked off.
So its something like
Insertion event
Umm.. this is a CyQ've Ethernet blah blah
Post to user space
pcmcia daemon
Scan in /etc/pcmcia
Thats an ne2000 driver job
Load ne2000 driver if not loaded
Tell pcmcia to plug that card and driver together
Plugged together
pcmcia daemon builds a descriptor set
Run the script for this type of object
Matches eth0 and mac
Run that script item
ifconfig blah
route add foo
done
