Would you write up a proposal for this design that we could work from to come to a agreed design? You are probably the best person to start this process. Thanks!

Re: Adding PCMCIA support to the kernel tree -- developers needed.
As we look into developing PCMCIA support in the 2.4/2.5 kernel trees, in addition to reading the pcmcia-cs code to learn about problems with specific devices that need to be handled, David Hinds also a reference page that lists some a bunch of issues that are in varying degrees of resolution: http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/BUGS This may be a useful resource. I'll see whether David has time to update this page with a bit more detailed explanations of the problems. Some of the items are pretty vague. For example, the Asix AX88190 chipset, which has several serious bugs and incompatibilities that render the regular pcnet_cs driver unusable It would be nice to know exactly what those bugs and incompatibilities are. :-) Anyhow, I hope this helps, Miles - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
