dummy_cs - PCMCIA dummy device driver
SYNOPSIS
insmod dummy_cs.o [pc_debug=n] [free_ports=n] [irq_list=i,j,...]
DESCRIPTION
The dummy_cs module has two purposes. It is intended as a demonstration of how to write the PCMCIA interface code for a client driver, and
the source code is heavily commented. It is also written to function as a sort of generic ``point enabler'': when bound to any PCMCIA IO
card, it will read the card's Configuration Information Structure, and configure the card appropriately. The configuration includes set-
ting up IO and memory windows, configuring the card for interrupts, and initializing the card's PCMCIA configuration registers.
It turns out that many cards report incomplete or inaccurate configuration information, due to vendor carelessness and the complexity of
the data format. A vendor driver can generally take for granted many configuration details, so there is not much incentive for vendors to
ensure that the on-card information is complete. Thus, the dummy_cs module is limited by its generality: since it makes no assumptions
about card types, it is forced to rely on the card information, for better or worse.
PARAMETERS
pc_debug=n
Selects the PCMCIA debugging level. This parameter is only available if the module is compiled with debugging enabled. A non-zero
value enables debugging.
free_ports=n
A flag indicating if the IO ports allocated for the card should be freed from the kernel resource maps. This is useful if the dummy
driver is being used to configure a card in preparation for loading a specific PCMCIA-unaware driver. The default is 0 (false).
irq_list=i,j,...
Specifies the set of interrupts that may be allocated by this driver.

Hi,
I have a Dell Inspiron 4000 that I am using to run Redhat Linux 7.1.
This machine had 128Mb of RAM in it, and I upgraded to 512Mb.
Since this, the PCMCIA cards have disappeared from the system running under Linux, although they still work under windows and the file "/var/lib/pcmcia/stab"... (1 Reply)

I currently have an IBM Thinkpad with a built in 56k modem. RedHat 7.1 does not recognize my internal modem. I used a Xircom Ethernet 56 + 100 card. Linux knows the card is there. However, I have been unable to set it up. Please help is possible. (1 Reply)
I am using an IBM 390E laptop with a built-in LT modem which RH 7.3 does not notice. I would like to know if there are any pcmcia modems that are supported by version 7.3. If so, what is the propduct and where can I purchase it? Thanks!!

Hey all,
I've bought a few bits from Belkin who seem quite happy to support FreeBSD! Last time I bought a UPS from them and it's still going well :D
I saw this on their website that the 16bit PCMCIA card was supported under FreeBSD:

Hi,
I justed manged to install Solaris 8 on my Laptop, the only problem I have got is that It does not find my PCMCIA card. I need it to find my card so I can connect the Laptop to my LAN.

Hi
I recently installed Mandrake 9 on my laptop. It has 2 PCMCIA slots, and in one of them I usually keep one of my network cards (ones an Accton 2216, the other a Surecom EP-427). Under mandrake when my computer started up (and went into runlevel 5) it attempted to start 'network' and then... (2 Replies)
