I just installed 4.0-RELEASE and then did a build world 4.0-STABLE
(cvsup'd 4/1) on a old laptop (Toshiba Satalilite 110CT). The OS is
working fine, no ATA problems, too old I guess. I am using a D-Link
DE-660CT PCMCIA card (NE2000 clone), the card is working fine. The
problem I am having is with bootup. After pccardd is loaded /etc/rc
continues on and finished, failing on every piece of networking, before
the PCMCIA card is initialized. I modified /etc/rc as follows:
# start up PC-card configuration
if [ -f /etc/rc.pccard ]; then
. /etc/rc.pccard
fi
+
+echo 'sleeping' ; sleep 30
+
This is a crude hack, but is has guarenteed that the NIC is configured
before /etc/rc continues.
1) Is the a problem due to the age of the laptop?
2) Am I missing something?
3) Is there a "proper" way to do this?
