Some commands like cardctl do not exist?

[Hyewon Jun]

Hi,

I have used Fedora 3 before, and used "cardctl info" and "service pcmcia 
restart" to play with PCMCIA wireless cards.
However, when I installed Fedora Core 6 and typed those commands, the 
error message showed up saying the commands do not exist. What could I 
have done with the installation? Or, how can I fix it to use those  
commands?

Thank you!

I think it's more or less plug and play for these PC cards, even 16-bit
PCMCIA ones, nowadays.

Hi,

there was a package called pcmcia-cs, which provided the cardctl thing. 
It's now obsoleted by package pcmciautils, which contains pccardctl, 
which does what cardctl used to do. Although, most of the pcmcia stuff 
has been moved to udev, so there's no pcmcia service for example.

There is no pcmcia daemon anymore (it has been moved to the kernel),
so service pcmcia restart does not work anymore.

cardctl has been renamed to pccardctl.

pccardctl works for my purpose.
Thank you!
