Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2002-06-12 19:47:04 UTC 
This is a storage device of some sort?
Comment 4 Joshua Giles 2002-06-12 19:59:17 UTC 
Nop,

The card is a remote assistant card(lspci shows it as "Megarac").  It has a 
pcmcia card slot(modem), ethernet connection, battery pack....all the 
essentials to remotely manage a system.
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2002-06-12 20:32:41 UTC 
So, what sort of configuration needs to be done for this card?
Comment 6 Joshua Giles 2002-06-12 21:10:44 UTC 
Upon completion, kudzu should setup should load the "megarac" module and create 
a character special file "/dev/rac0" with permission mode 644, major and minor 
number 170 and 0 respectively.
Ex: mknod -m 644 /dev/rac0 c 170 0
Comment 7 Bill Nottingham 2002-06-12 22:08:32 UTC 
Actually, if your software just opens that device, it should just be an alias in
modutils; kudzu shouldn't have to load the module (and the device should be in
the normal dev package)

Is this a cross bug to 60376 ?

Working as designed
