I am trying to hotplug a Belkin F5D7010 802.11g Cardbus device. I have it working by pluggin it in, running 'modprobe ndiswrapper' and then hand entering iwconfig, ifconfig and route commands. And ofcourse, now I would really like to automate it. When I plug the card in, there is no beep. But, messager log reveals: kernel: cs: cb_alloc(bus 6): vendor 0x14e4, device 0x4320 cardmgr[76]: socket 1: Cardbus hotplug device and a 'cardctl ident' Socket 1: produce info: "Broadcom", "802.11g Cardbus", "4.5" manfid: 0x02d0, 0x0417 function: 6 (network) First, why does the log message and the cardctl report different id's? Which is right? I have been looking for docs that explain setting up hotplug and I seem to find confliction. Some state that Cardbus is no longer handled by pcncia_cs and some say it is. Where can I find out what is the correct way to configure the installation? Slackware 10.0 kernel 2.4.26' hotplug-2004_01_05 Also, plugging in a 3Com EtherLink III pcmcia card hotplugs correctly, so something is working right. tj ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
