I have not yet actually tried this due to hard disk problems. I had already understood that simply renaming SW_8xx_SER.cis to SW_7xx_SER.cis would make it work, barring IRQ/BIOS issues, but that's a horrible kludge. "Doing it right" so that the same system could handle either or both 8xx and 7xx cards would necessarily require fixing the driver source, and that's what I was griping about. I think that ideally, that should be udev's job. I don't actually have a 7xx card, but someone else might have both, and I would not want to pass this problem onto them if I had an opportunity to prevent it. _______________________________________________ Linux PCMCIA reimplementation list http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pcmcia
