Description of problem: When executing "/etc/init.d/pcmcia stop", the yenta_socket (etc.) module does not get unloaded, apparently due to a typo. My IBM T22 laptop won't go into suspend with this module loaded, so I have to do "rmmod yenta_socket" manually as root before suspend will work, even though I listed pcmcia as a service to be restarted by apmd in /etc/sysconfig/apmd. The problem is in the statement: if grep -q "ds " /proc/modules ; then The grep never matches because there are 2 spaces after "ds", whereas there is only one space after "ds" in /proc/modules. If I edit the pcmcia script to remove the extra space from the first grep argument (ie. "ds "), then "/etc/init.d/pcmcia stop" now works correctly and my laptop is put into suspend automatically by apmd when I close the lid. (By the way, ACPI suspend doesn't work for me on this machine) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.53-1 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. su 2. /etc/init.d/pcmcia stop 3. /sbin/lsmod Actual results: The modules "yenta_socket" and "ds" are still loaded. Expected results: The modules should have been unloaded. Additional info: I'm running Fedora Core 2 final with kernel 2.6.5 on an IBM Thinkpad T22 laptop with a Pentium III processor (just in case the /proc/modules format varies between kernels or systems...).

Please try pcmcia-cs-3.2.7-1.8.2.1 in FC2 test updates.
Thanks for the fix. Unfortunately my laptop's motherboard died just days before your reply(!), so I can't try out the update on the original computer... The problem should be generic enough to test on another machine though(?) - when my new T42 laptop arrives, I'll install FC3 and check that it's now OK.
Closing as fixed in the update.
