terry_mur...@3com.com is the holder of technical docs great and small

very old and out of date, she is listed as the contact. She has
gotten me a couple of docs that I couldn't find.

CardBus Support (was: support for 3Com 3C575 network controller?)
I've been trying to get some progamming doc out of TI for
the PCI1200 PCI/Cardbus bridge (used in the Dell Inspiron
7000), however they cannot seem to understand that I'm not
asking for a pre-written device driver :-(
Does anyone out there have doc for the PCI1200 (and
preferably the entire PCI12xx family) they could send me?
Or have a knowledgable contact inside TI that could send
same to me?

No-one is actively working on it right now. I do own one of the cards and
it should be possible to use the existing xl driver without too many
changes after the initial cardbus hurdle is dealt with. Paid work is
monopolising my time right now, so I don't expect to play with it anytime
soon.

this begs the question though, is anyone working on CardBus

PCMCIA? Yes I understand they are *completely* different.
Just curious.

support for 3Com 3C575 network controller?
Is anyone out there successfully using a 3Com 3C375 network
controller in there laptop? I got a new Dell Inspiron 7000
that came with one of these jewels and I haven't been able
to find the trick to make it work.
Here are some specifics. If you need more info please let me
know.
- The model number of the card is 3CCFE575BT-D.
- I'm running 4.0-CURRENT up-to-date as of this morning.
- 'pccardc rdattr 0 0 1' returns nothing but 0xFF.
- 'pccardc dumpcis' doesn't show any info for the card.
- The card is in slot0.
- I have a Viking 56K modem in slot1 which I'm using right
now to type this message. I had to add an entry to
/etc/pccard.conf to get it to work. I'm assuming since
the modem works I've at least got things setup correctly
for pccardd.
- When I fire up pccardd it complains about not having an
entry for ""(""), which I assume is related to the fact
that dumpcis and rdattr don't return anything meaningful.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Steve
