[BUG] hotplug network agent / apmd bug...

[BUG] hotplug network agent / apmd bug...

[Ryan Mack]

The apm-script included in apmd-3.0final does the following on resume:

cardctl resume/insert
service networking start

Unfortunately, if one of your pcmcia cards is a PCI-merged networking card
such as the 3c575_cb, hotplug does the following upon seeing the card
resumed...

if networking is started, configure the new interface

Thus, because apmd reenables pcmcia before networking, a pcmcia network
adapter won't be configured by hotplug.

One easy sollution, is that if the pcmcia network adapter is always in the
system, you can enable ONBOOT for the interface, and thus the networking
script will enable it for you.  In my case (frequently switching between
LAN and WAN cards), that isn't an option.

Anyhow, if one of the two projects could fix this it would be much
appreciated.  I'd submit a patch, but I'm not sure which project should be
patched.

Thanks, Ryan Mack

Hmm, I've not hacked apmd stuff in ages, but as I recall
it didn't ship with any configuration-specific support in
its scripts -- stuff like "cardctl" and "service" commands.
Are you positive those aren't distro bugs?

In general it'd make more sense to start networking
first, I suspect..

It's probably a distro bug then, in which case I've already submitted it
to RH.
