This is the Debian GNU/Linux prepackaged version of the PCMCIA Card
Services package. It was created from sources written by David Hinds
<dhinds@allegro.stanford.edu>. This version of Card Services is
copyright 1999, David Hinds.
This package was created by Oliver Oberdorf,
<oly@head-cfa.harvard.edu>, from sources obtained from:
hyper.stanford.edu:/pub/pcmcia
This package has been modified by Brian Mays <brian@debian.org>.
Modifications of pcmcia-cs package for Debian GNU/Linux Copyright (C)
1996-99 Brian Mays and are released under the GPL (on Debian systems
see `/usr/doc/copyright/GPL').
Notes:
* A complete linux source tree for the kernel, not just an up-to-date
kernel image, is required to compile the PCMCIA package. The PCMCIA
modules contain some references to kernel source files.
* The FLTK Library is required to compile cardinfo, an X-based card
status utility. This library can be found in the Debian libfltk-dev
package.
* The PCMCIA modules will automatically be configured for APM
(Advanced Power Management) if a compatible version is detected on
the system. APM tools can be found in the Debian apm package.
Changes:
* added Debian GNU/Linux package maintenance system files
* modified pathnames to conform to FSSTD and other Debian standards:
/etc/sysconfig/pcmcia -> /etc/pcmcia.conf
* modified etc/Makefile to
- prevent it from creating symbolic links in the /etc/rc?.d
directories
- prevent it from modifying the /etc/conf.modules file
* modified etc/config to not assume that kernel module 8390.o is in
the net subdirectory
* change compile options to -O2 and -Wall
* added a probe(8) man page
* modified cardinfo.c (and the Configure script and Makefiles) so that
it uses the free FLTK library instead of the non-free Xforms library
* Added a note in the pcinitrd(8) man page about needing ash(1)
* Fixed bug in a sed script causing an incorrect assignment to the
HWADDR shell variable in /etc/pcmcia/network
* Modified /etc/pcmcia/network so that it does not use the DNS_[1-3]
variables if DNSSRVS has been set
* Added an example to etc/serial.opts for creating an inittab entry
using getty instead of mgetty
* Added several comments to the configuration files
* Modified the Configure script to turn off CardBus support if PCI
is disabled
* Fixed the exit codes of /etc/init.d/pcmcia
* Changed the /etc/pcmcia scripts to call /bin/bash instead of /bin/sh
* Changed file locations in /usr/man to comply with the FHS
* Added pcnetconfig script and man page
* Modified cardmgr to load configuration files located in the
/etc/pcmcia/config.d directory (if it exists)
* Modified the Configure script (which contains some bashisms) to use
bash instead of sh
