to be defective. The default setting is yes. To disable CIS loading from disk, set
this variable to no.
PCMCIA_ALLOW_FUNC_MATCH
Linux device drivers contain a device ID table that tells drivers which devices to
handle. This means that only those devices whose IDs are known to the kernel are
supported. To support those cards whose ID is not listed, you can use function
matching. This means that the driver is not selected by ID, but by the function of
the card (such as a network card), and would be responsible for any PC card inserted
with that function (such as network cards). The default setting is yes. To disable
function matching, set this variable to no.
PCMCIA_COLDPLUG_REINSERT
Cards that have been inserted before booting sometimes fail to be detected. To
prevent that, cause a soft eject and a soft insert of the card by setting
PCMCIA_COLDPLUG_REINSERT to yes. The default setting is no.
26.2.3 Interface Setup
Depending on the card type, different interfaces are registered after initialization has
been successfully completed. Interface registration is handled by udev's hotplug. For
details on udev and hotplug, refer to
with udev
(page 463).
