For example, support for cardbus 3com cards was moved to 3c59x.o driver. It works (on 600X at least) only of you compile it in. It will not work as a module. I think a much better solution right now is to use drivers from pcmcia-cs package. It always works. If you do not configure any support for pcmcia in your kernel, when you build pcmcia-cs it will build kernel drivers from its own source tree. Just make sure you use the latest version. This also allows configuration files interoperbility with 2.2.x kernel, if you wish to use that as well. You just need to make sure you are using "ordinary" configuration files if you use pcmcia-cs, since 2.4 uses different names for some of pcmcia drivers. Stock pcmcia-cs package will do nicely. -- ---------------------------------------- Constantine Gavrilov Linux Leader Optibase Ltd 7 Shenkar St, Herzliya 46120, Israel Phone: (972-9)-970-9140 Fax: (972-9)-958-6099 ---------------------------------------- - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
