[newbie] PCMCIA doesn't start after reinstall
Hey all, Well, never did figure out why my pcmcia services were going haywire (see [newbie] Runaway pcmcia services -- above). So I thought I would try to reinstall, but now PCMCIA doesn't start at all. I'm not sure if this is the error or not, but the tail end of dmesg is: Linux Kernel Card Services Kernel Version options: [pci] [cardbus] [pm] ds: no socket drivers loaded! unloading Kernel Card Services Any ideas?

Thanks. Found the trouble.../etc/sysconfig/pcmcia wasn't configured with yenta-socket...so now I'm back at square one with the runaway pcmcia service as before. Should I take this to the expert list? -- Peter Pankonin, digitalcrucible Registered Linux User 246938 There are 10 kinds of people in the world: Those who understand binary, and those who don't.

[newbie] Runaway pcmcia services
Hi all. I recently got a wireless NIC (Linksys WPC11) card. When starting pcmcia, my system (Mandy 9.1) goes nuts... For about 3 to 4 minutes I get this in the terminal: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: Starting PCMCIA services: etc. (sometimes at this point there is an error about too many files...) Then, for another 3 to 4 minutes I get this: insmod: a module named pcmcia_core already exists modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o.gz failed modprobe: insmod pcmcia_core failed insmod: a module named pcmcia_core already exists modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o.gz failed modprobe: insmod pcmcia_core failed insmod: a module named pcmcia_core already exists modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o.gz failed modprobe: insmod pcmcia_core failed insmod: a module named pcmcia_core already exists modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o.gz failed modprobe: insmod pcmcia_core failed insmod: a module named pcmcia_core already exists modprobe: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/pcmcia/pcmcia_core.o.gz failed modprobe: insmod pcmcia_core failed insmod: a module named pcmcia_core already exists etc. After that I can insert my wireless card and everything works fine. If I set pcmcia to start on boot, it takes about 6 minutes longer to start. I imagine it's doing the above in the background. Any ideas as to how I can fix this?
