Poul,
You have probably given up on me :-)
I don't blame you...
I have a new cut of the PCMCIA stuff that is a fairly complete
rewrite with the following changes:
- Split off the controller specific stuff from a generic PCCARD
front end in the kernel.
- The controller specific stuff is done as a LKM.
- A new driver interface that uses LKMs to load the drivers
- Drivers that unload and load when cards are unplugged.
- Multiple drivers per card to allow multi-function cards to work.
- Multiple different controller types (like PCIC or TCIC) that
work together.
- In progress assimilation with the APM stuff.
Where can I send this?
I think it is a much better code base than the last stuff, since
it is a second attempt, and is based on a more generic model.
Cheers,
