Presumably someone has or had a good reason for writing this line in the .spec file in kernel-pcmcia-cs-3.1.27-10.src.rpm: install -m755 %{SOURCE3} $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/etc/pcmcia/config but the Source3 in question is broken -- it's missing a `bind' directive for the very last card in the file (Xircom RBM56G Modem). This causes a very misleading error to appear in /var/log/messages when the pcmcia services start up: cardmgr[7337]: config error, file './config.opts' line 8: no function bindings There is a large number of differences between the Source3 config (revision 1.154) and the official pcmcia config (revision 1.170). ICBW, but isn't it very risky having such a mismatch in age between a config file and the code which uses it? I notice that this 'copy over' approach is also being taken for /etc/pcmcia/isdn and /etc/pcmcia/network.
