Hello,

I'm trying to make my Texas Instrument Ultramedia Smartcard reader
working, it is part of a Dell M60. I've able to load the
firmware from the windows driver using the tiumfwl module from
(http://penguin-breeder.org/kernel/) and now I get the following from
pccardctl info

PRODID_1="TEXAS Instruments"
PRODID_2="UltraMedia Smart Card Adapter"
PRODID_3="1.0"
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0097,1620
FUNCID=255

So it seems that the firmware simulate a PCMCIA smartcard reader
inserted in the virtual "socket1" (virtual because my Dell M60 does only
have one real pccard slot). I think that the problem may be that the
smartcard reader is fully implemented in the firmware and maybe it
wasn't developed by TI and there is no datasheet for it. As it seems
that TI used GEMCore technology to develop it I though it maybe a
GemCore compatible reader, but I was unable to make it works with
GemCore drivers for PCMCIA readers. Other posibility is that it use
someking of GemCore chipset that need the firmware to work, in that case
it should be easy to get it working with an adapted GemCore driver.

Anybody has any clue about this reader? Anyway to get it working? I've
contacted TI about that, but I got no answer (maybe because I don't know
the right contact).

Best regards,
