Description Bastien Nocera 2003-12-20 00:23:47 UTC
Description of problem:
On startup of a 2.6 kernel, the yenta_socket driver isn't loaded when
under 2.4 it is.

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

How reproducible:
Every time
  
On startup, the network script loads my PCMCIA WLAN card's driver, and
its dependencies, but not the socket driver (expected).
When the pcmcia script is launched, there's already a "pcmcia" entry
in /proc/devices which wouldn't be there under a 2.4 kernel.
So in addition to checking that pcmcia is present under /proc/devices,
it should check that the driver for the socket is loaded.

Trivial patch attached below.
