Description Scott Russell 2001-08-22 01:56:10 UTC 
Description of Problem:
If eth0 is up and you run /sbin/service pcmcia restart the following errors
happen. pcmcia script (or hotplug?) should first down any eth0 interfaces
in use by pcmcia devices before doing a restart. This makes sense
considering when you start pcmcia services any ethX interfaces are
automatically started. For consistancy they should also be stopped when
shuting down pcmcia services.

[root@mirage boot]# /sbin/ifconfig

Comment 1 Glen Foster 2001-08-22 22:10:30 UTC 
This defect is considered SHOULD-FIX for Fairfax.
Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2001-08-24 02:32:51 UTC 
Does this persist with initscripts-6.26-1.
Comment 3 Bill Nottingham 2001-08-24 02:54:39 UTC 
Make that hotplug-2001_04_24-10 and kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.27-9, actually.
Comment 4 Scott Russell 2001-08-24 03:47:57 UTC 
woot.

initscripts 6.26-1 didn't make a bit of difference for this problem.

Updating to hotplug-2001_04_24-10 and kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.27-9 did fix the
problem. 

After updating now I can run pcmcia [start|stop|restart] without having to down
the eth0 pcmcia interface as a seperate step. Nice work.

(What was the fix???)

This can be closed.
Comment 5 Bill Nottingham 2001-08-24 15:47:42 UTC 
The fix was removing a really bad idea that made no sense from the
hotplug/pcmcia packages. :)
