Package: pcmcia-source
Version: 3.2.5-2.7
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
RealTek 81x9 is a chip found on many cheap Ethernet CardBus cards.
Donald Becker had written a working driver for these chips. I've put up
a patch for pcmcia-cs source package. I'll try to collect some IDs to
add to /etc/pcmcia/config if there's a need. For now, manually add the
following lines to /etc/pcmcia/config.opts:
--- 8< ---
device "realtek_cb"
class "network" module "cb_enabler", "realtek_cb"
card "RealTek Rtl8139"
manfid 0x0000, 0x024c bind "realtek_cb"
--- >8 ----
Additionally, I've added a patch that allows to enable "monitor mode"
functionality with Orinoco WiFi cards (original patches are avalaible
from http://airsnort.shmoo.com/).
Both patches are combined in one patch which you can find at
http://pawel.szubartowski.eu.org/debian/pcmcia-cs.patch.bz2. This patch
applies cleanly to pcmcia-source-3.2.5-2.7.
Please add it to mainstream package, because it doesn't disturb normal
operation of standard components (it's just a useful add-on).
Tested on Debian GNU/Linux testing, kernels 2.4.2[2-5] compiled with
gcc-2.95.4 and works quite fine.

Since the pcmcia-source package doesn't exist anymore, I'm closing the bug
reported against it.
