When inserting & removing a 3COM 575CT network card, cardmgr uses the wrong
parameters to start & stop the network. Syslog reports:
Apr 24 11:39:51 fulham /etc/hotplug/net.agent: register event not handled

Apr 24 11:41:17 fulham kernel: cs: cb_free(bus 6)
Apr 24 11:41:17 fulham /etc/hotplug/pci.agent: PCI remove event not
supported

Examining /etc/pcmcia/network shows:
1) It doesn't support the "check" parameter
2) Starting is ignored - it is left to the hotplug agents to bring up the
network
3) Stopping the network expects $2 to be "eth0" rather than "3c59x", in
order to call ifdown.

Examining /etc/hotplug/net.agent shows:
4) The message "/etc/hotplug/net.agent: register event not handled" is
output even after a successful "ifup".


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. boot and shutdown with card in slot, or
2. cardctl eject 0, and cardctl insert 0

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-04-26 11:48:01 UTC

This card shouldn't be handled by cardmgr _at all_!
Investigating

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2001-04-27 04:55:23 UTC

The cardmgr network script doesn't call ifup; are you using the shipped-with-7.1
pcmcia?

Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2001-04-27 05:03:28 UTC

Oops, nevermind, wasn't reading closely.
