ATTENTION
Graphics card and standby
The graphics card driver oen has a problem with standby. In case of trouble,
it is a good idea to test the latest version of the X.org graphics server.
HARDWARE
Apple and power
management
On Apple Powerbooks (thus PowerPC processors), apmd should be replaced
with pmud.
9.13. Laptop Extension Cards: PCMCIA
PCMCIA card drivers are built into the kernel as modules since kernel version 2.6.13. On a system
running Debian Squeeze, you simply have to install the user space support contained in the
pcmciautils package.
The wireless-tools package is also necessary for good management of Wifi cards.
Every time you connect or remove a card, the daemon configures or deconfigures it, by executing
a script in the /etc/pcmcia/ directory, which gets its settings from the /etc/pcmcia/*.
opts files. These files have been slightly adapted to work with a Debian system; the configuration
of the network is delegated to ifup if the /etc/pcmcia/network.opts file does not take
care of it. The same is true for configuration of a wireless network, which can be specified in
/etc/network/interfaces instead of /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts. The /usr/share/doc/
wireless-tools/README.Debian file also describes the syntax to use.
After this overview of basic services common to many Unix systems, we will focus on the environment
of the administered machines: the network. Many services are required for the network
to work properly. They will be discussed in the next chapter.
