In preparation for trying an AC860 card after I get some hard disk troubles squared away, I tried to use dump_cis on a desktop (no pcmcia). Apparently, it tries to access the card. I took a look here: http://lxr.linux.no/source/drivers/serial/serial_cs.c#L907 I compared that against this: http://www.sierrawireless.com/faq/ShowFAQ.aspx?ID=118 Even though 7xx and 8xx use different CIS files, they have the same manfid, but the kernel driver doesn't seem to take this into account. IMHO, it's unfortunate that driver source has to be edited every time an existing, otherwise unchanged driver can be reused for a previously undiscovered device. It would be great if that could all be offloaded to udev. Anyway, as things stand, is there a way to set PCMCIAutils up to "just work" with whichever 16-bit AirCard might get inserted?
