I am getting some reports that the new setserial 2.15-3 interferes with pcmcia cardservices. It would appear that setserial runs first, and initialises the pcmcia card for serial use. This is fine unless the card is a combo modem/ethernet card, in which case the ethernet part of the card is not initialised by cardservices.
The bugno is 38131. Could someone more knowledgable than myself think about this one. I do not have a pcmcia setup, so it is clearly not a problem for me. I have changed both setserial code and the way it is started up. Previously setserial was an /etc/rc.boot, and now it is /etc/init.d script with rcS, rc0, and rc6 used. I used priority 30 in each directory, as I need modules (like serial) loaded before use, and need access to modules and /etc (I may do some writing) on shutdown and halts. Is this a problem with setserial or with pcmcia?? G. -- Gordon Russell http://www.dcs.napier.ac.uk/~gor PGP Public Key - http://www.dcs.napier.ac.uk/~gor/pgpkey.txt
