And what is the current status with : pccard support in the kernel? The new pccard code is still being worked on. However, the old pccard code mostly works again, modulo a couple of if_detach issues that I'm trying to work through. : I've noticed that a few files still contain the PCCARD_MODULE macro : - in particular, the dev/pccard/if_xe.c Xircom driver. I'm : interested in getting the if_xe.c driver to work under -current : (12-Dec sources). I'd be interested in any ideas on how to convert : the old if_xe.c driver to the 'newbus' code. (I'm not familiar with : either the old PCCARD_MODULE, or the newbus code.) The if_xe and if_fe drivers no longer work for pccard. You may wish to investigate how the ep and ed drivers were converted. There is one issue with the if_xe driver, namely it needs to access the CIS of the card to determine which kind of card it is and that will need some work in -current to get working again... I can provide support for this effort, but I'm not sure that I have time to do this effort.
