[astaroth]

Dear all 

n a recent post to this mailing list with the 
itle 
D-Link DE-660 network card not working under 
.6.x" 
've been seeking for advice to get my network 
ard working  
nder a 2.6 kernel on my Sony PCG-C1MHP 
Picturebook). 
hanks to D. Hinds, it turned out, that the PCMCIA  
ervices can't be started: 
 
 
tarting PCMCIA services: cardmgr[3576]: no 
ockets found!  
 
 
ontent of /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia:  
 
CIC=yenta_socket  
CMCIA=yes  
 
 
n contrast, the services always worked well  
nder 2.4 kernels (dmesg output of 2.4.23):
