>Environment:
4-STABLE from 06/29/00.
>Description:
/etc/pccard_ether does not look for start_if.* scripts for each
configured interface as is done in rc.network. This is needed
for devices like the Aironet wireless NIC's, because you need
to set some device options, .e.g. SSID or ad-hoc/infrastructure
mode, before you can begin talking to the remote end.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try using an Aironet PCCARD where the default device options are
not usable.
>Fix:
Apply this patch which makes pccard_ether look for a start_if.*
script for pre-ifconfig device settings in the same manner
as rc.network.
