hello
i am working with a hp ipaq hx2410 which has a built-in wireless lan
module connected to the processors pcmcia/cf interface.
I want to try and write a driver for it. I took the airo_cs module as
reference. In the first step i tried to register the card with the
pcmcia system. The code for my module only does pcmcia handling without
connecting the card to any other driver functionality yet. When i load
the module some card settings seem to get messed up. I hope that you can
help me to figure out what i am doing wrong.
before i load my module the cardctl config command gives the following:
Socket 0:
Vcc 3.3V Vpp1 3.3V Vpp2 3.3V
Socket 1:
not configured
and dump_cisreg:
Socket 0 function 0:
Config register base = 0x0200, mask = 0x0007
read config register: No such device
when i the module i added some debug output:
acxcs_attach()
acxcs_event(0x000004)

acxcs_config(0xc3f493a0) requesting configuration
acx_cs(0xc3f493a0): index 0x01: Vcc 3.3, irq 86
and after that cardctl config and dump_cisreg have different output:
cardctl config:
Socket 0:
Vcc 0.2V Vpp1 51.2V Vpp2 109051904.0V
interface type is irq 86 [exclusive] [level]
function 0:
config base 0x0007
option 0x00 status 0x07 pin 0x00
Socket 1:
not configured
dump_cisreg:
Socket 0 function 0:
Config register base = 0x0200, mask = 0x0007
Configuration option register = 0x41
[level_req] [index = 0x01]
Card configuration and status register = 00
Pin replacement register = 0x02
[ready]
the voltage readings seem to be incorrect, but if i use another
(working) cf card the voltage readings are the same and the card works fine.
as you can see pcmcia_request_window fails (and there are no io ports
allocated).
also the config base in cardctl config is now 0x0007 and dump_cisreg
does not say "no such device" any more.
for more information (cardctl ident,info.status and dmesg) please see
http://nw.distl.net/hx2410/pre-modprobe-acx.txt
http://nw.distl.net/hx2410/post-modprobe-acx.txt
and the module source for the module (currently built for the 2.5.15-rc2
kernel) is at
http://nw.distl.net/hx2410/acx.c
can you give me any hints on how to get this card set up properly?
thank you
