Yes, actually I communicated with the author of the pcard code, and came to the same conclusion (I was trying to get to the CIS to configure an IBM LAN Entry card). What I do now is an ioctl from userland, and I tried a hack by coping the bit before the io move in pcic.c. And do simple decoding (all I need is the MAC address). But no there is no clean way of doing it. It might be worthwhile to port the linux Tuple readers into the kernel (just the numeric data). Which part of the interface do _you_ need ? Dw.
