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?
