PCMCIA Driver question on Ubuntu 2.6.28-16
 

Hi all
I am having trouble writing up a driver for a 16 bit pcmcia card. When I insert the card, then run pccartctl ident or pccardctl info, I dont get back any information. If I run pccardctl status I see output that indicates 16-bit and 5V card.

I think most of the card CIS is accurate except for the memory windows resource requirements.

I know that attribute memory is what holds the tuples and card identifying information. Is it the case that if the memory window information is not correctly indicated then the card cis will not be read ? I think the card CIS lists only 1 memory window - but needs 2 to work correctly. But to get to this problem I need to first get to a point where my driver at least gets loaded. Adding the manufacturer info to config.opts did not do anything for me.

How do I figure out why the card identification is not working right ? pccardctl wont even display manufacturer information. :-(

P.S: I have some experience with Linux but not a whole lot.

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

TIA

PCMCIA drivers are tricky. You will need to find the Linux PCMCIA mailing list and post the problem there also.
