From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020314 Description of problem: When I insert the xircom_cm pcmcia card, the module seems to be properly loaded by the pcmcia services, but hotplug seems to fail to notice this, and fails to start the network. If I type "ifup eth0", network starts right up. Here is the end of my messages file: Mar 28 15:47:25 libra kernel: cs: cb_alloc(bus 2): vendor 0x115d, device 0x0003 Mar 28 15:47:25 libra kernel: PCI: Enabling device 02:00.0 (0000 -> 0003) Mar 28 15:47:25 libra kernel: PCI: Setting latency timer of device 02:00.0 to 64Mar 28 15:47:25 libra kernel: eth0: Xircom cardbus revision 3 at irq 11 Mar 28 15:47:25 libra kernel: PCI: Enabling device 02:00.1 (0000 -> 0003) Mar 28 15:47:25 libra /etc/hotplug/net.agent: invoke ifup eth0 Mar 28 15:47:25 libra kernel: ttyS04 at port 0x4080 (irq = 11) is a 16550A Mar 28 15:47:25 libra cardmgr[2211]: initializing socket 0 Mar 28 15:47:25 libra cardmgr[2211]: socket 0: Xircom CBEM56G-100 CardBus 10/100 Ethernet + 56K Modem Mar 28 15:47:25 libra /etc/hotplug/pci.agent: Setup xircom_cb for PCI slot 02:00.0 Mar 28 15:47:25 libra /etc/hotplug/pci.agent: missing kernel or user mode driver xircom_cb Mar 28 15:47:25 libra /etc/hotplug/pci.agent: ... no modules for PCI slot 02:00.1 The module is properly loaded, and works fine. Seems to be a problem with the hotplug recognition of the loaded module. I tried to track it down, but had no luck. Any fixes? Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Uplug the Xircom card 2. Replug the Xircom card. Card is recognized properly every time but ifup command doesn't get done. 3. Expected Results: The network should be up after I plug in the card, without needing to type ifup eth0. Additional info:
Likely related problem with a linksys 10/100 NE2000 clone. Log shows hotplug/net.agent trying the "ifup eth0", but nothing results from that. In my case, nothing like the above messages from pci.agent. Just nothing at all after the ".../net/agent: invoke ifup eth0". All works fine if I manually do "ifup eth0", which is what makes me think it is related.
