DetailsIt happened while updating arch kernels from 2.4 to 2.6, to 2.6.1, to 2.6.3, to 2.6.4.
Whenever kernels are changed, you should consider to update the kernel depending packages, too, at least the ones that have to be compiled against the current kernel. Everytime, I get my kernel updated, I find that my pcmcia_cs environment is broken. If you'd be so kind to think about: - store kernel files wihth real numbers, so kernel26 update does not mean 2.6.3 files are overwritten with 2.6.4 files. Therefore, it could be possible to stay with one kernel minor version. - if kernel is to be updated, please recompile any depending kernel packages to match to the new kernel. Therefore, I suggest those packages should have a name relative to it's depending kernel versions, f.e. kernel2.6.4-pcmcia_cs, kernel-2.6.4-synaptics. - if you won't consider any of my ideas, please think about a warning sign before kernels are updated. The kind "You want to update kernel26. Following packages will be broken due to unmatching kernel dependencies: - pcmcia_cs - ... - ..." :) |
This task depends upon
Although my pcmcia_cs env was working with 2.6.3, the kernel update leaves my wifi card unrecognized.
I am not sure if it is the socket mod, or the pcmcia mods ...
/etc/rc.conf:
modules=(orinoco_cs ...)
eth0="dhcp"
eth1="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo eth0 eth1)
DAEMONS=(... pcmcia network ...)
That's it. As the modules are loaded, pcmcia daemon solves the puzzle, and network daemon solves dhcp. The wifi is ready then.
It runs as long as I use the 2.6.3 kernel, and when I boot 2.6.4, my card is missbehaving. The modules are loaded, the pcmcia daemon recognizes the sockets, but the network daemon won't get the card up and therefore fetches no dhcp informations.
