Guest tolne57 Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 Hello! New linux user here. I just installed Mandrake 10 on a laptop and for the most part everything is working ok. I was able to setup my truemobile wireless card but I have to execute the following as su everytime I reboot: /etc/init.d/pcmcia stop modprobe yenta_socket /etc/init.d/pcmcia start Is there a place I can put this so it runs at startup? Maybe I have something configured improperly that is causing me to have to do this. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance for y'alls help!

liquidzoo Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 In /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia, either add or modify to have this in there: PCIC=yenta_socket <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Either that, or edit /etc/modprobe.preload to include: yenta_socket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tolne57 Posted July 16, 2004 Report Share Posted July 16, 2004 (edited) Either that, or edit /etc/modprobe.preload to include: yenta_socket <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks you both for the replies! Adding 'yenta_socket' to modprobe.preload did the trick as I already had 'PCIC=yenta_socket' in /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia. Now I just have to get samba working... edit: my typing skills are definately lacking late at night Edited July 16, 2004 by tolne57 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a Samba FAQ in the works that should be out soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
