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!

Either that, or edit /etc/modprobe.preload to include:

 

yenta_socket

 

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

Glad to hear it worked.

 

As for Samba...stick around here for a while. We have a Samba FAQ in the works that should be out soon.
