Description Joe Shaw 2005-10-19 17:51:03 UTC

I have an Orinoco PCMCIA card plugged into my Dell Latitue D600.  On boot, the
card isn't recognized: the modules aren't loaded and the lights on the card
aren't on.  If I eject the card and reinsert it, then hotplug works fine and the
modules are loaded, the lights on the card turn on, and the network device comes
up fine.

Please try
  /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia:PCMCIA_COLDPLUG_REINSERT=yes
and boot again.

Any news?

Comment 3 Joe Shaw 2005-11-04 15:03:02 UTC

Actually I haven't rebooted since then.  I'll give it a try this afternoon and report back.

Comment 4 Joe Shaw 2005-11-04 19:59:43 UTC

Ok, just tried this.  It works.  Should that setting be the default?

Comment 5 Christian Zoz 2005-11-15 07:42:32 UTC

No, that should not be default, because it normally works without that. This is just a workaround for some broken cards/drivers.
