Udev broke pcmica_cs

I just recently did an upgrade of the system, and apparently the new version of Udev doesn't agree with hotplug (which I didn't use) and pcmcia_cs. 

Pcmica_cs was rather important to me, as my modem is a pcmica card. 

I read somewhere on the forum that pcmciautils replaces this (because the newer Kernels take in a lot of the features of pcmcia_cs), does anyone know what kernel version this affects?  I'm running 2.6.12.2, which I know is an older verion.  Grr, I need this to work before I go home (took my laptop tp work to upgrade... hehe..)

so, any shared knowledge would be good.

Re: Udev broke pcmica_cs

Have you tried it without pcmcia_cs?  Just because it removes the package doesn't mean it's broken.

IIRC the newest udev functionality works better/faster than pcmcia_cs... you should try it to see if it works.  If it does not, please provide error codes/messages.

PS I think you're going to have to upgrade your kernel for this to work, as it uses the modalias subsystem in the kernel - I don't think that was fully complete until 2.6.13.

Re: Udev broke pcmica_cs

ok, cool.  I'm compiling a 2.6.14.3 now, we'll see how that works.

Faster/better is always much apprecirated.  Thanks for the quick response.  I'll post back with an update on how it works.

The pcmica card is workign with the recompile, but for some reason my sound doesn't work...keeps saying the modules are an invalid format...

That'd be some nice vermagic crap - most likely you kernel was compiled with gcc 4.1 and the modules compiled with 4.0 - I'd suspect you didn't build the modules with your custom kernel

Re: Udev broke pcmica_cs

got it working again.

Reran alsaconf and it fixed it, for some reason.  I did compile the modules with the kernel, btw.
