From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.2.17-14smp i686) 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 11:39:51 fulham cardmgr[1621]: executing: 'modprobe cb_enabler' Apr 24 11:39:51 fulham cardmgr[1621]: executing: 'modprobe 3c59x' Apr 24 11:39:51 fulham cardmgr[1621]: executing: './network start 3c59x' Apr 24 11:39:52 fulham cardmgr[1621]: exiting Apr 24 11:41:17 fulham cardmgr[1688]: executing: './network check 3c59x' Apr 24 11:41:17 fulham cardmgr[1688]: shutting down socket 1 Apr 24 11:41:17 fulham cardmgr[1688]: executing: './network stop 3c59x' Apr 24 11:41:17 fulham cardmgr[1688]: + usage: ifdown <device name> Apr 24 11:41:17 fulham cardmgr[1688]: stop cmd exited with status 1 Apr 24 11:41:17 fulham cardmgr[1688]: executing: 'modprobe -r 3c59x' Apr 24 11:41:17 fulham cardmgr[1688]: + 3c59x: Device or resource busy Apr 24 11:41:17 fulham cardmgr[1688]: modprobe exited with status 1 Apr 24 11:41:17 fulham cardmgr[1688]: executing: 'modprobe -r cb_enabler' Apr 24 11:41:17 fulham cardmgr[1688]: exiting 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
This card shouldn't be handled by cardmgr _at all_! Investigating
The cardmgr network script doesn't call ifup; are you using the shipped-with-7.1 pcmcia?
Oops, nevermind, wasn't reading closely.
