Linux-wlan install breaks Fedora test2 pcmcia

[Jaap A. Haitsma]

Hi,

I had the same problem in RH 9.0.

You have to remove the .o in the three following lines in the file 
/etc/init.d/pcmcia

                /sbin/modprobe pcmcia_core.o $CORE_OPTS
                 /sbin/modprobe $PCIC.o $PCIC_OPTS
                 /sbin/modprobe ds.o

Bug is already quite a while in bugzilla
See
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88054

Regards,

Jaap
