I got 9.3 installed on a notebook and also have a PCMCIA Wireless card
configured (prism54/orinoco). However, when the card is not present, the wlan
interface fails, as does rcnetwork. It would be a nice enhancement that it is
valid for wlan cards to be missing at the time rcnetwork is called and that they
probably be configured in the background when inserted.
Sort of like *cough* ms windows does it. Currently, nothing happens when
inserting the network pcmcia card. Requires me to run rcnetwork by hand.

This is not the place to report 9.3 bugs

Comment 2 Jan Engelhardt 2005-09-12 14:57:50 UTC

Then tell me where. (Besides that I probably accidentally mixed 9.3/10 - same in
both AFAICS.)
