2.6.0-test1 PCMCIA requires two insertions
Greetings Marino helped me to find what I was doing wrong with my PCMCIA modem and 2.4.6-test1. Thanks! But something strange is still going on. When I start up the laptop with an ethernet card in the slot, it doesn't recognize it on boot, despite having the driver enabled in the kernel. If I remove the card and re-insert it, it finds the device and sets it up. If I remove it and insert the modem card, nothing happens. Remove and insert again and it loads the modem. In short, to make PCMCIA devices work, it appears I need to insert them twice. The second time it recognizes them and works it's magic. Anyone know why this is? Chris -- Christopher S.

Actually the drivers are build into the kernel in my normal configuration, but even when I build them as modules, I still see the same behavior -- inserting a new card requires two insertions before the kernel recognizes them (even if the modules are already loaded in advance). I posted to the kernel mailing list, and got confirmation of this behavior from another user, but so far no one has discussed the reasons or solutions for it. I don't really care too much, since the cards do work eventually. I'm sure the issue will be resolved before the big commercial vendors start releasing their 2.6 versions. Chris -- Christopher S.
