There are PDF and zipped PostScript data sheets for these parts on TI's web page: http://www.ti.com/sc/docs/folders/analog/pci1211.html Ya, I found those by doing a search inside the TI site. The problem is the data sheets those URLs point to only describe the hardware side of things. There's nothing there describing how to deal with the chips in software. --lyndon pgptTMuiD0TJK.pgp Description: PGP signature

I'm running pccard just fine on a Dell Inspiron 7000 with 4.0. I had to tweak sio.c to increase a delay for the FIFO tests but other than that my modem (Zoom 56K LT DataFax) and 3CCE589ET network card are both humming along no problems. I'm going to commit the pccard.conf entries for them RSN. Between Doug and Terry I think I have enough to start playing with getting support for the network card that started this thread. :) -steve # -- # Nathan Dorfman nat...@rtfm.net The statements and opinions in my # Unix Admin @ Frontline Communicationsusenet posts are mine, not FCC's. # The light at the end of the tunnel is the headlight of an approaching # train. --/usr/games/fortune To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message
CardBus Support (was: support for 3Com 3C575 network controller?)
I've been trying to get some progamming doc out of TI for
the PCI1200 PCI/Cardbus bridge (used in the Dell Inspiron
7000), however they cannot seem to understand that I'm not
asking for a pre-written device driver :-(
Does anyone out there have doc for the PCI1200 (and
preferably the entire PCI12xx family) they could send me?
Or have a knowledgable contact inside TI that could send
same to me?
--lyndon
# CardBus cards aren't supported. Period.
Eek, I didn't realize this was a CardBus card. :{ I quess
this begs the question though, is anyone working on CardBus
support for FreeBSD since this is the 32-bit version of
PCMCIA? Yes I understand they are *completely* different.
Just curious.
No-one is actively working on it right now. I do own one of the cards and
it should be possible to use the existing xl driver without too many
changes after the initial cardbus hurdle is dealt with. Paid work is
monopolising my time right now, so I don't expect to play with it anytime
soon.

terry_mur...@3com.com is the holder of technical docs great and small
at 3com. There is some doc request that you can fax in, but it is
very old and out of date, she is listed as the contact. She has
gotten me a couple of docs that I couldn't find.
