Description Joel Schneider 2002-03-28 15:17:31 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.77 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.7-12.3mdk i686)

Description of problem:
Skipjack-beta installation program recognizes and accepts configuration for
PCMCIA ethernet card.  However, when rebooted, even though the computer merrily
reports "Bringing up interface eth0: ... [ OK ]", and "Starting pcmcia: ... [ OK
]", it is still necessary to go in and bring up the eth0 interface by hand.

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


How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install skipjack-beta on laptop with PCMCIA ethernet card
2. During installation, set eth0 interface to be automatically configured using
DHCP.
3. Red Hat install was successful.
4. Reboot computer.


Actual Results:  Ethernet interface eth0 (pcmcia) does not come up until
operator manually logs in as root and does "ifup eth0".

Expected Results:  After successful install, ethernet interface eth0 (pcmcia)
*should* automatically configure itself at boot time, with no manual
intervention whatsoever.

Additional info:

Contents of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:
-----
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=dhcp
ONBOOT=yes
-----

Contents of /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia:
-----
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=yenta_socket
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
-----

Contents of /var/lib/pcmcia/stab:
-----
Socket 0: empty
Socket 1: Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 CardBus II

Note:  This might be considered a bug in pcmcia instead of init-scripts, but
there was no separate "pcmcia" component defined in bugzilla.
