after the PCMCIA network device is configured.

Red Hat bundles their slightly modified PCMCIA source distribution in their kernel SRPM, rather than as a

separate source package.

Slackware

Slackware uses a BSD boot script arrangement. The PCMCIA startup script is installed as

/etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia, and boot options are specified in rc.pcmcia itself. The PCMCIA startup

script is invoked from /etc/rc.d/rc.S.

SuSE

SuSE uses a System V init script arrangement, with init scripts stored under /sbin/init.d. The PCMCIA

startup script is installed as /sbin/init.d/pcmcia, and startup options are kept in /etc/rc.config.

The SuSE startup script is somewhat limited and does not allow PCMCIA startup variables to be overridden

from the lilo boot prompt.

3. Resolving installation and configuration problems

This section describes some of the most common failure modes for the PCMCIA subsystem. Try to match

your symptoms against the examples. This section only describes general failures that are not specific to a

particular client driver or type of card.

Before trying to diagnose a problem, you have to know where your system log is kept (see Notes about

specific Linux distributions). You should also be familiar with basic diagnostic tools like dmesg and

lsmod. Also, be aware that most driver components (including all the kernel modules) have their own

individual man pages.

Try to define your problem as narrowly as possible. If you have several cards, try each card in isolation, and

in different combinations. Try cold Linux boots, versus warm boots from Windows. Compare booting with

cards inserted, versus inserting cards after boot. If you normally use your laptop docked, try it undocked. And

sometimes, two sockets will behave differently.

It is nearly impossible to debug driver problems encountered when attempting to install Linux via a PCMCIA

device. Even if you can identify the problem based on its symptoms, installation disks are difficult to modify,

especially without access to a running Linux system. Customization of installation disks is completely

dependent on the choice of Linux distribution, and is beyond the scope of this document. In general, the best

course of action is to install Linux using some other means, obtain the latest drivers, and then debug the

problem if it persists.
