heads up: pcic(16bit) and pcelxDate: Thu, 19 Jan 2006 11:25:35 +0800 From: "brian.xu" <Brian dot Xu at Sun dot COM> To: onnv-gate at onnv dot eng dot sun dot com, on-all at eng dot sun dot com Subject: heads up: pcic(16bit) and pcelx My recent putback of: 4305127 pcmcia controller works under Yenta mode 6207608 pcmcia CIS parsing broken on AMD64 6371007 core dump happens when fdformat the sram pccard on amd64 with snv_24+ makes the pcic nexus driver support Yenta mode on both the sparc and x86 platform. Those 16bit pccard leaf drivers such as pcelx, pcram have also been updated so that they can work on x86 and sparc. As a result, those **pcelx** users on x86 platform need not to get binary from 'frkit' or China wifi-team website any more. As a result, if you just use **16bit** pccard such as pcelx, pcser, pcwl etc, then you need not to install cardbus nexus driver. After the cardbus nexus driver is putback in the future, this Yenta mode pcic driver will be as a misc module and is responsible for the 16bit pccard card-service and socket-sevice. Thanks, Brian |
