Re: pcmcia-cs (cardmgr) problem - "eth0: command 0x5800 did not complete!"

Some additional information...

Within /etc/pcmcia/network is the following line:

get_info $DEVICE

1. Apparently, "get_info" extracts such information as: hwaddr, instance,
socket,
stream. It feeds this information into the appropriate variables.

2. A straight ifconfig on the tested interfaces returns 0's for the hwaddr.
However, the bootstrap filesystem does not include "get_info" (or
"ide_info").
Obviously, this would cause problems.

3. Does ifconfig also make use of "get_info" (...?!), or is the lack of
information ifconfig is retrieving coincidence/part of a larger problem..?

4. Searched through package contents for get_info and came up emtpy-handed.
Does anyone know what package contains this and any related components?
(Searched Package description file in /demo tree on lorien as well)

Progressing slowly...backwards perhaps...
