Hi Inaky, thanks again for your help
I connect the PC Card to PC in linux and when I run the lspci -v the output only
differed of the output without PC Card as show below:
*** output lspci -v (difference without PC Cart Connected and with PC Card
connected)***
03:00.0 Network controller: Unknown device 1a37:bece (rev c8)
Flags: bus master, slow devsel, latency 0, IRQ 10
Memory at 56000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
Memory at 56100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=1M]
Capabilities: [78] Power Management version 2
****************************************************************************************
Indeed the device is PCI.
I have some additional questions:
1. What is the meaning of this output?
2. In the new kernel is possible that this PC Card runs?, Do you have some
reasons why
the WiMax adapter doesn't work in this kernel?, If I run a Live CD of ubuntu
for example
is possible using the drivers in the same mode so as I have the distro
installed in my
laptop?
3. I am kernel newbie, if I want to write a driver what is the starting point?,
If the
driver is for that PC Card where do I can to begin?
