snapshot of CardBus support code for FreeBSD
Hi all, I'm writing a code to support CardBus at FreeBSD. I put on a current working code snapshot at my Web, URL:http://www.bremen.or.jp/shigeru/FreeBSD/CardBus/ This is an alpha quality and different implimentation of NEWCARD. Currently, It only works on my laptop, SONY VAIO PCG-818. Supported PC Cards are MELCO WLI-PCM-L11, which is an OEM of a Lucent WaveLan, and Corega FastEther PCC-TX. These 16-bit PC Cards are using PCI interrupt, not use ISA interrupt. CardBus PC Card does not work, we can only dump a CIS. I put on a compiled kernel at same place. #Please try it if you want.

Cardbus is a work-in-progress. Check the archives of freebsd-mobile for the gory details.

Cardbus Support?
I have seen so far a few people ask this question and all they have been told is to look at the supported hardware section on the handbook at the freebsd home website (which is useless as there is nothing listed under PCMCIA on the site at the moment). Perhaps then someone working with PCMCIA could answer this: Is there cardbus support under FreeBSD-Current and if so what can it currently support? If there is not cardbus support then are there any other users interested in working on it?

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

terry_mur...@3com.com is the holder of technical docs great and small

very old and out of date, she is listed as the contact.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.

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?
