From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020408 Description of problem: I have a Dell latitude c810 with an internal wireless card and a xircom cardbus ethernet card. When I boot the system with no cabel in the xircom, but the wireless within range of a base station, the xircom appears on eth0 and the wireless as eth1, but eth1 is not reporting an IP address. I even try dhcpcd -n for force a new IP, but nothing. Clearly the xircom should be inactive since it isn't plugged in, but the wireless should be active. Only when I do 'cardctl eject 0', 'cardctl eject 1', 'cardctl insert 0' does the wireless come up with a valid IP. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot machine 2.do ifconfig eth0 and ifconfig eth1 to see that neither has an IP 3. Actual Results: the wireless card, eth1, doesn't have an IP Additional info: It seems that linux is having trouble recognizing the second interface.
That sounds more like a problem in the hotplug/kernel/initscripts area. Reasigning it to initscripts (which sounds the most likely source of the problem). Read ya, Phil
Please try to reproduce on a current OS.
I still can't get the second interface, but for slightly different reasons. I've since moved to a Dell C840 with a built in ethernet and wireless. When I boot with a stock Fedora 2, the wireless should be at eth1, but it never appears. I have to put a card eject and insert into the rc.local to get it to appear. I recall there being some other bug reports about this being a init scripts problem with the pcmcia system being started after the network, but I don't recall the exact reason or bugzilla id: perhaps 121742
Yeah, that's bug 121742. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 121742 ***
