I moved /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia.N to /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia. Now the pcmcia module doesn't load. I receive the following message when it fails to load: /sbin/init.d/rc2.d/S03pcmcia: SCHEME: readonly variable I checked S03pcmcia and it links to the new pcmcia script. Do I need to edit the script?

> /sbin/init.d/rc2.d/S03pcmcia: SCHEME: readonly variable This is not a failure message. It is perhaps misleading, but it is just telling you that you've overridden SCHEME from the boot prompt. Is this the only PCMCIA message you got? -- Dave

Other message is "failed services" Re: That message is not an error (David Hinds) Date: 2000, Jul 06 From: John Cusick <zen@sprynet.com>

Dave, Yes, that's the only message other than the failed services message: Failed services in runlevel 2: pcmcia Strange, the pcmcia services started fine with the older script, the card was recognized and the "driver" was loaded, just the scheme wasn't recognized. Now, for some reason, the services don't even start.

After some tweaking, I found the following were necessary to get the Intel CardBus card working at 100bT half-duplex: 1) Moved /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia.N to /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia 2) Remarked out "SCHEME=" from etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia 3) Forced the card's media type to 100bT half-duplex by adding the following to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts: module "tulip_cb" opts "options=3"
