If one wants to use the hotplug utils with gentoo the agent scripts in
/etc/hotplug need to be patched as the originals are intended for RedHat
linux.
Basicly one needs a patch like the following for /etc/hotplug/net.agent:
| Code: | --- net.agent.orig 2002-04-22 10:45:16.000000000 +0200
+++ net.agent 2002-04-22 12:43:54.000000000 +0200

The problem is that the unregister stuff doesn't work. I'm looking in to
it but it seems to be a problem with the /mnt/.init.d/started/net.eth? not
being deleted so that if one reinserts the PCMCIA card the interface won't
start because the system thinks net.eth? is already started. |

|

Hi,
I've been having problems when using hotplug and pcmcia-cs. When any USB device is connected and hotplug is started my notebook freezes. If no usb devices are attached hotplug starts ok. if i then connect a usb device everything works fine.
ive hacked a fix, which was to rename /etc/hotplug/pci.rc to zzpci.rc. which stops the pci hotplug services from being started
my setup...
pcmcia network card (started via pcmcia)
ov511 oem webcam (via hotplug)
sandisk CF reader (sddr-31) (via hotplug)
I wouldnt be suprised if this is due to my bios being a bit buggy (my notebook wont boot from hard disk unless a vfat/ntfs partition exists!!!)
I tried to use hotplug as a replacement for pcmcia but i couldnt get this to work. Can hotplug be used to manage pcmcia cards instead of cardmgr via pcmcia-cs??? if so how??
Thanks, Al |
