'any' for interrupt was a complete un-necessary hack since '?' was already there. 'default' for 'tuple' id's introduced bugs in the CIS parser code in pccardd, plus added a ton of complexity in already difficult to understand code. If I'm going to maintain the code I want to be able to understand it and also not have new functionality add new bugs. The tradeoff isn't worth it. :( > Which seems like a big step backwards if you ask me, but I haven't yet > gotten a chance to track down what's going on, so don't consider this > a bug report or a complaint yet (unless you know for sure that this was > what was supposed to happen :-) ). This was supposed to happen. The 'any' interrupt code won't go in, but the 'default' stuff should happen sometime, since it is a good thing. However, that's not going to be for a little while, so for now go find a nice configuration entry for your card to get it working using pccardc dumpcis. I'm sorry for breaking this support, but the code that implemented it was too nasty for me to integrate it. :( Nate
