gruftie# uname -a
FreeBSD gruftie 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #6: Sat Feb 1 19:55:36 CET 2003 root@gruftie:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GRUFTIE i386
(cvsup was just before buildkernel/buildworld - the version before was
about 4-5 days old and showed the same effect)
In /etc/devd.conf I added the following lines for my Lucent Orinoco Gold
Card (which works just fine when I plug in the pccard after the system
has started):
--- CUT HERE ---
attach 50 {
device-name "wi[0-9]";
action "/usr/local/etc/netconf/bin/netconf $device-name start";
};
detach 50 {
device-name "wi[0-9]";
action "/usr/local/etc/netconf/bin/netconf $device-name stop";
};
--- CUT HERE ---
This netconf script (yeah, I know, /usr/local/etc is not a good place
for something like that) is something I wrote which get's a bunch of
small config files for each known wireless network and then configures
the card to the first matching WLAN. This script logs to syslog and so I
know it is not even started on bootup, if the card is already plugged
in. If I take the pccard out and put it back in again, everything works
fine. Any ideas?
