Description of problem:
Using a wireless pcmcia card the wireless.opts is not run.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. put hermes.conf in /etc/pcmcia
2. modify wireless.opts
3. restart pcmcia service or reboot
	

Actual Results:  settings entered in wireless.opts are ignored

Expected Results:  the card should work and have the right settings (essid 
etc...)

Additional info:

Mailed Jean Tourrilhes (orinoco_cs) about it and knew about the problem. Asked 
me to perhaps file a bugreport and in the mean time try the original Pcmcia 
scripts.
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2005-01-28 05:21:11 UTC 
Apologies for the lack of response.

The supported wireless configuration is done via ifcfg-XXX scripts
under Red Hat/Fedora, not wireless.opts.
