Results from when the Netgear was correclty noticed and IDed.
Tried a fresh install on the Acer Aspire, which had been happy with previous to release FC5, and note that it also did not check for firmware or any of the other stuff, but _did_ say that it loaded driver (likely the other did, too, but only the first time I inserted it). So this is not specific to the one laptop, but is specific to fresh install vs upgrade. I too am having this problem. In FC4 when I inserted the prism card NetworkManager would detect the card and setup a list of available networks. With FC5 I have to restart NetworkManager to get this behavior. It seems that NetworkManager is not getting notified that the card was inserted. Why? I am also having this problem, both with my pcmcia ethernet card (uses 3c589_cs) and my pcmcia wireless card (uses atmel_cs). Both worked under FC4. Now, neither card is detected until after a restart of NetworkManager. It also appears to not detect the removal of a card until Networkmanager is restarted. I wonder if this has something to do with the change from pcmcia_cs to pcmciautils? Created attachment 136504 [details]
udev work-around
This is a work-around for the problem.
Download the attachment, and put it in /etc/udev/rules.d/99-laptop.rules
It restarts NetworkManager automatically whenever a new interface appears or
disappears.

Anyone still having these problems? If you are, please attach the output of 'lshal'. Thanks! It works on F8 now. Phil. |
