From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020314 Description of problem: I fixed Orinoco card to use orinoco_cs driver (reported in bug 62317). When the laptop (IBM 390e) reboot, the eth0 startup and defered until pcmcia starts, but eth0 is not up after the system startup finished I have to add ifup eth0 in /etc/rc.local to fix the problem. This didn't happen to other pcmcia NIC (I'm using a linksys ec2t) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. load a Orinoco card on a laptop 2. reboot the laptop Actual Results: The eth0 startup is deferred, which should be done by pcmcia later (as my linksys card), but the card was not start during pcmcia startup Expected Results: eth0 using orinoco card should startup, just like other pcmcia NIC Additional info: n/a
I just have a quick test using my Linksys ec2t card. The same problem occurred. Eth0 didn't come up during bootup, ifup eth0 is needed to bring up the card afterward. I think the problem is more general on pcmcia NICs. Note, the function works on RH 7.2 w/ the same h/w... maybe I shouldn't have try skipjack. 8)
Believe it or not but that last thing is a grep bug ! install the rawhide grep and it works again ;)
Confirmd. grep 2.5.1 from rawhide fixed the problem. Both orinoco and linksys card bring up properly now. Great work! I'll let you closed the case. Rgds,
