HINTS FOR USERS OF OLD VERSIONS

-- The new default config file will automatically link a PCMCIA modem
   to /dev/modem.  This simplifies dealing with just one modem, but if
   you have more than one, you may want to replace the default startup
   command with a script that picks better nicknames.

-- When you do 'make install-etc', your existing configuration files
   will not be automatically replaced.  New versions will be placed in
   /etc/pcmcia with '.N' suffixes -- you'll need to replace your files
   or merge changes by hand.

-- Cardmgr has been moved from /usr/sbin to /sbin.  Please edit your
   rc.* files appropriately, and remove any old version in /usr/sbin.

-- Version 2.0 had a bug that resulted in accumulation of stale device
   files in /tmp.  Delete any device files you find in /tmp.  This bug
   can cause cardmgr to fail when started from /etc/rc/rc.M.

GENERAL HINTS

-- If you have any trouble loading modules, running cardmgr, or using
   particular cards, CHECK YOUR SYSTEM LOG FILES!  All the PCMCIA
   tools send error messages to the system log.  /usr/adm/messages is
   a good place to look on most systems.

-- If while compiling lex_config.c you get a "parse error before `1'"
   error, upgrade your flex package to 2.4.6.

-- If the socket probe reports more sockets than you actually have,
   try loading the i82365 driver with the "sockets=#" parameter to
   override the autodetect code.  For example, you might use:
   "insmod /usr/src/linux/modules/i82365.o sockets=2"

-- If you get an "out of memory" error when you try to load the
   pcmcia_core.o module, you have an out-of-date version of insmod.
   Get the latest version from cb-iris.stanford.edu or wherever you
   get your kernel patches.  Look for a 'modules.tgz' package.

-- If you get messages like '_register_pcmcia undefined' when you try
   to load i82365.o or tcic.o, you are using an out-of-date insmod.

-- The default config file explicitly excludes ports for one built-in
   serial port.  If you have two serial ports, you will need to add a
   line to exclude the port range 0x2f8-0x2ff, so that this range will
   not be allocated to a PCMCIA device.  If you have a parallel port
   but have not configured it under Linux, you'll need to explicitly
   exclude interrupt 7 so that it will not be used for PCMCIA.

-- For systems where card insertions and removals don't seem to be
   detected properly, there is a polled status mode.  To enable this,
   uncomment the POLL_STATUS line in 'make.options'.

-- This version does not require the /dev/pc?? device files -- it
   creates temporary device files on the fly.  So, you can delete the
   ones you've got.
