Umm, and can't hostap select the second cfg entry? That one has the 5V
setting, so maybe it works.
I have been looking the cis option of pcmcia, I'm wondering what will happen
if I change:
cftable_entry 0x01 [default]
Vcc Vnom 3300mV Vmin 3V Vmax 3600mV Iavg 300mA
Ipeak 300mA Idown 10mA
io 0x0000-0x003f [lines=6] [16bit]
irq mask 0xffff [level] [pulse]
cftable_entry 0x02
Vcc Vnom 5V Vmin 4750mV Vmax 5250mV Iavg 300mA
Ipeak 300mA Idown 10mA
into this:
cftable_entry 0x01 [default]
Vcc Vnom 5V Vmin 4750mV Vmax 5250mV Iavg 300mA
Ipeak 300mA Idown 10mA
io 0x0000-0x003f [lines=6] [16bit]
irq mask 0xffff [level] [pulse]
Will I burn the card (maybe the card is told to use cfg 1 and powered at 5V
when it is expecting 3.3)?
I have already changed cfg 2 to be the default, but that didn't help at all,
the only thing I saw was that the default flag that is shown when inspecting
the first cfg is now 0 instead of 1, but second cfg is not even expected and
cfg 1 is accepted.
I don't know what I could have a look at, my pcmcia bus driver is
yenta_socket, any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
