Description Derek Poon 2001-06-13 11:28:35 UTC
Description of Problem: /etc/hotplug/net.agent defines $ADDRESS as
"*,*,*,$HWADDR" before calling /etc/pcmcia/wireless.  However,
/etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts expects $ADDRESS to be of the form
"$SCHEME,$SOCKET,$INSTANCE,$HWADDR", not just "*,*,*,$HWADDR".


How Reproducible: 100%


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a scheme-specific setting in /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts, such as
      home,*,*,*)
           ESSID="HomeNet"
           # more stuff...
           ;;
      *,*,*,00:02:2D:*)
           ESSID="DefaultNet"
           # fallback...
2. /sbin/cardctl scheme home
3. Insert wireless card.


Results:
Get default settings instead of home settings.

I've applied the fix to hotplug-2001_04_24-2 - reassigning for the rest of it.

Comment 3 Arjan van de Ven 2001-06-13 17:28:39 UTC
Applied the parts to kernel-pcmcia-cs
started build to rawhide
