Cardmgr warning

After a week of struggling a managed to get my Sitecom wireless PCMCIA card to work.

Only problem I have is that I get an warning message during startup and an error message after reboot:

During boot:

cardmgr[...] executing ./network start eth0
cardmgr[...] * WARNING: "net.eth0" has already been started

After reboot:

cardmgr[...] * ERROR: "net.eth0" has not yet been started

How can I solve this problem?

Regards, Ruud.

Did you added net.eth0 to the default run level? This should not be done for pcmcia devices since they are handled by the pcmcia system.

As root, try:

I get the same error messages running my wireless card as eth1. I net.eth1 in /etc/init.d/ but no symlink to it under /etc/runlevel/

The error messages appear when I plug and unplug my wireless pcmcia card as well as at start up.

No, Ive not added net.eth0 with rc-update.

What do you mean by after reboot? During the boot after a reboot, or during the shutdown process to reboot?

I think the problem may be related to hotplug and pcmcia both trying to start the net.eth0 script. The bug here, https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28130, mentions this phenomenon.

The message "... already started" is showing up during boot process. The error message "has not been started" is a message at shutdown.

I have enabled hotplug so that could be the case. I will remove this with rc-update. Maybe this helps.
