I also did some work on the PCMCIA bit. As far as I know, it's still broken - the TI chipset on a Broadcom bus is a pretty unique and there's only scattered interest in fixing it. Someone better with drivers than I will have to take a look at the interrupt handling and figure out why it's locking up when disabling interrupts. As noted before, Linksys' driver is pretty ugly with a lot of magic numbers and evidently relies on some buggy initialization. > My wish list includes: > Proper support without needing to specify prod/vendor for usbserial > for 4 umts/hsdpa cards including: > Novatel u630 and x870 > Haewei 600 & 800 > > Cdma/evdo cards > Sierra aircard 580 & 595 > > Ipwireless PCMCIA card which is a PCMCIA card not a cardbus card which > there are 2.6 kernel drivers for in the kernel source.

Not sure about the Novatel/Huawei/ipwireless cards, but the patches I posted to the list last year enable the Sierra cards with the 2.4 kernel; is something not working? I've not looked at the Novatel/Huawei cards, but if they have a 2.4 driver they'd be trivial to incorporate. Otherwise, the bus driver fix will block those. > Also I have a wish to support SMS from the gsm cards as there is a > page I found listing all AT commands to interrogate the SMS messages. > pull them off the card and put them into a sqlite db to be viewed in x- > wrt.

That will be more of a package than anything G3G-specific. There are several programs already available for sending SMS via serial connections (emulated or not). Most of them would probably be pretty easy to package. Or at least dissect and emulate. _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
