Description Sergey V. Udaltsov 2003-11-12 05:30:25 EST

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1)
Gecko/20031030

Description of problem:
On my laptop I have O2Micro SmartCard reader (which I know is NOT
supported - but anyway). It is found by cardmgr as Anonymous Memory.
Then cardmgr is trying to load memory_cs - and fails. Just because
kernel-pcmcia-cs (or kernel 2.4.22?) does not include the module
memory_cs.o

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.1.31-13

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. use any pcmcia memory module 
2. /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia restart

memory_cs is cardmgr's "Ehhhh I don't know" answer.
It wouldn't have done anything good at all.

Comment 2 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2003-11-12 05:55:17 EST

Well, could at least it give some more sensible error message? Or at
least "man memory_cs" should mention it - and not give some info about
the module which is not there (and would not work anyway, as you say).
BTW, IIRC correctly, memory_cs existed in some earlier kernels. Am I
wrong?
