Can't hotplug two cardbus devices -- a 3c575 ethernet adapter anda

It should make /etc/hotplug/net.agent invoke "ifup eth0" ... assuming you have "/sbin/ifup". Are you sure it isn't doing that? Certainly does for me ...

BTW: What action is this hotplug call supposed to accomplish?

Jan 22 10:40:45 agate /sbin/hotplug: arguments (net) env

(ACTION=register TERM=dumb HOSTTYPE=i386 PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin HOME=/ SHELL=/bin/bash DEBUG=yes INTERFACE=eth0 OSTYPE=Linux SHLVL=1 _=/usr/bin/env)

When I load the 3c59x driver by hand (the hotplug "add" hotplug event isn't loading the driver), this "register" hotplug process kicks off. However, it doesn't do anything I can determine, like run "ifup eth0".

When I insert my 3c575, I get:

I see no sign of "modprobe 3c59x" occuring.

When I run "modprobe 3c59x" by hand, I get:

And, I see no sign of "ifup eth0" being run.

The hotplug command is doing the right thing - it's trying to load 3c575_cb.o. But you're using 3c59x.o under 2.4.

I think you need an `alias eth0 3c59x' in modules.conf.
