My understanding of what needs to be done, at least from looking at the two drivers which appear during bootup on my laptop (sio and ep), is to add some functions to handle insertion and removal, and the DATA_SET(pccarddrv_set, ...) macro. I don't know much about the new bus architecture and its relationship to the pccard system.. I really haven't been following this. > Alternatively, if what you want is a right-now solution, I would go > grab the PAO patches and rip out just those parts that you need. Well, what I want is a right-now solution (partly because I'm going away in four days and I'd like to have it working by then), which could be the basis for a future solution. As for ripping out the PAO stuff, I tried to do that last night, but I ran into too many conflicts. PAO pccard is quite different, and it was all for the 2.2 branch. Hmm.. it looks like <199803200754.QAA09200@afs.ntc.mita.keio.ac.jp> in the archive is what I want. I will see what, if anything, needs to be done to bring that to current -current. -- Christopher Masto Director of Operations NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net "Good tools allow users to do stupid things." -- Clay Shirky To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
