1 Hi All,
2
3 My turn to upgrade today to udev-103 and noticed the following symptoms:
4
5 1. My WiFi USB adaptor is no-longer detected at boot: :(
6 =========================================================
7 Loading module: rt2500usb - CVS (N/A) by http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com.
8 rt2500usb->rt2x00_vendor_request: Error - vendor request error. Request 0x09
9 failed for offset 0x0000 with error -110.
10 rt2500usb->rt2500usb_alloc_dev: Error - Failed to initialize device.
11 rt2500usb->rt2500usb_probe: Error - Failed to allocate device.
12 usbcore: registered new driver rt2500usb
13 =========================================================
14
15 On the other hand, pull it out and plug it back in works fine:
16 =========================================================
17 usb 2-1: USB disconnect, address 2
18 usb 2-1: new full speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
19 usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
20 wmaster0: Selected rate control algorithm 'simple'
21 wlan0: starting scan
22 wlan0: scan completed
23 wlan0: Initial auth_alg=0
24 wlan0: authenticate with AP 00:00:00:00:00:00
25 =========================================================
26 Does the detection of the adaptor at boot fail because of the order in which
27 the module is loaded by udev?
28 PS. I did not have a wireless router in the vicinity at the time, hence the AP
29 MAC number.
30
31 2. I am getting an error when udev starts at boot time:
32 =========================================================
33 udevd [622]: add_to_rules: unknown key `MODALIAS`
34 in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-pcmcia.rules:4
35 udevd [622]: add_to_rules: unknown key `MODALIAS`
36 in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-pcmcia.rules:10
37 udevd [622]: add_to_rules: unknown key `MODALIAS`
38 in /etc/udev/rules.d/60-pcmcia.rules:14
39 =========================================================
40
41 The first relevant lines from this file are:
42 =========================================================
43 # modprobe $modalias loads all possibly appropriate modules
44 ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="pcmcia", MODALIAS=="?*", \
45 RUN+="/sbin/modprobe $modalias"
46 =========================================================
47 Should I report this, or should I ignore it?
48
49 3. A stupid boot error I was getting for the last 2.5 years about my scanner
50 (probably due to coldplug) is now gone - hurray!
51
52 TIA for any ideas on 1 & 2 above.
