Hmm... -z option sets "delay" variable to 1 and main() of pccardd has
if (!dodebug && !delay)
if (daemon(0, 0))
die("fork failed");
slots = readslots();
if (slots == 0)
die("no PC-CARD slots");
if (delay)
if (daemon(0, 0))
die("fork failed");
readslots() reads CIS, allocates driver and execute card_inserted().
Pccardd daemonizes after finishing all these processes. PC-card
sysinstall in -current probes ethernet interfaes after this
initialization and always found them successfly.
Are there any problems in above code?
