2.5 Notes about specific Linux distributions

This section is incomplete. Corrections and additions are welcome.

Debian

Debian uses a System V boot script arrangement. The PCMCIA startup script is installed as

/etc/init.d/pcmcia, and startup options are specified in /etc/pcmcia.conf. Debian's syslog

configuration will place kernel messages in /var/log/messages and cardmgr messages in

/var/log/daemon.log.

Debian distributes the PCMCIA system in two packages: the ``pcmcia−cs'' package contains

cardmgr and other tools, man pages, and configuration scripts; and the ``pcmcia−modules'' package

contains the kernel driver modules.

Red Hat, Caldera, Mandrake

These distributions use a System V boot script organization. The PCMCIA startup script is installed as

/etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia, and boot options are kept in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia. Beware that

installing the Red Hat package may install a default boot option file that has PCMCIA disabled. To enable

PCMCIA, the ``PCMCIA'' variable should be set to ``yes''. Red Hat's default syslogd configuration will

record all interesting messages in /var/log/messages.

Red Hat's PCMCIA package contains a replacement for the network setup script,

/etc/pcmcia/network, which meshes with the Red Hat linuxconf configuration system. This is

convenient for the case where just one network adapter is used, with one set of network parameters, but does

not have the full flexibility of the regular PCMCIA network script. Compiling and installing a clean

PCMCIA source distribution will overwrite the network script, breaking the link to the Red Hat tools. If you

prefer the Red Hat tools, either use only Red Hat RPM's, or create /etc/pcmcia/network.opts with

the following contents:

if [ −f /etc/sysconfig/network−scripts/ifcfg−eth0 ] ; then

start_fn () {

/sbin/ifup $1

}

stop_fn () {

/sbin/ifdown $1

}

If you do use linuxconf (or netconf) to configure your network interface, leave the ``kernel module'',

``I/O port'', and ``irq'' parameters blank. Setting these parameters may interfere with proper operation of the

PCMCIA subsystem.

At boot time, when the Red Hat network subsystem starts up, it may say ``Delaying eth0 initialization'' and

``[FAILED]''. This is actually not a failure: it means that this network interface will not be initialized until
