Missing /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia
I am trying to get my wireless card working, and I am missing the file: /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia on my slackware 10 kernel 2.6.7 installation. I compiled my kernel with pcmcia support, but the init.d directory does not exist.
EDIT: On slack10, is /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia the same as the file listed above? When I issue the following command: /etc/rc.d/rc.pcmcia restart I get the following message: Shutting down PCMCIA services: cardmgr Starting PCMCIA services cardmgr[3275]: watching 2 sockets Im assuming this is what is supposed to happen... am I assuming correctly? |
Yeap, remember that slackware uses BSD style init scripts instead of System V (althought it supports it)

Oh ok. I had no idea that that was the case. Im actually very surprised that I figured out on my own where else I could find the file.

Well now I need to create an alias for my device I believe. I need to make my pcmcia card wlan0. As of right now, Ive got the driver installed and inserted into my kernel as a module, and I just restarted pcmcia and put my wireless card in. However, it tells me that wlan0 doesnt exist, which it should. How can I go about making wlan0? I think it has something to do with putting "alias wlan0 ?????" in some file...
EDIT: I added the line "alias wlan0 prism2_cs" to /etc/modprobe.conf, and now when I run "/etc/rc.d/rc.wlan start" it says "Starting WLAN Devices" instead of giving me a fatal error and saying wlan0 does not exist. However, iwconfig and ifconfig both say wlan0 does not exist. |
