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.
Comment 1 Christian Zoz 2005-10-20 19:10:26 UTC 
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.
