hello,
I have a serial CardBus/Pcmcia adaptor that appears fine to 'cardctl ident':
cardctl ident
Socket 0:
no product info available
Socket 1:
product info: "OXSEMI", "OXCB950", "Rev A"
manfid: 0x0279, 0x0001
function: 2 (serial)
output from 'cardctl info' :
Socket 0:
no card
Socket 1:
3.3V CardBus card
function 0: [ready]
but I cannot figure out how to configure it.
I added the manfid with all the other options as in the PCMCIA howto
to /etc/pcmcia/config:
[--/etc/pcmcia/config--]
card "OXSEMI OXCB950 Rev A"
manfid 0x0279, 0x0001
bind "serial_cs"
[----]
but restarting pcmcia showed nothing in dmesg or other places. All
output from dmesg is about 'cs' probing the IO ports and serial_cs is
not loaded.
Is this card supposed to be managed/configured by hotplug and not by
pcmcia-cs ? Hotplug shows nothing about this, the only messages about
the device are :
PCI: Enabling device 0000:06:00.0 (0000 -> 0003)
The kernel is 2.6.12 and the pcmcia-cs version is 3.2.5., lspci reports:
000:06:00.0 Serial controller: Oxford Semiconductor Ltd OXCB950
Cardbus 16950 UART
If this does not belong to the pcmcia-cs package please let me know
and I'll dig on the hotplug side.
tia,
mitu
