I run Gentoo and someone posted on one of their forums about lspci running from a LiveCD shows this: "CardBus Bridge: Texas Instruments PCI xx12 CardBux Controller" I was hoping to get some pointers to TI drivers. He wants to get it working on his installed Linux which displays: "CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments Unknown device 8039" Just because the LiveCD "sees" the device does NOT mean there is a driver for it, right? I googled and all I found were warnings not to buy TI and an old project (http://acx100.sourceforge.net/). |

Hi. > "CardBus Bridge: Texas Instruments PCI xx12 CardBux Controller" [...] > I googled and all I found were warnings not to buy TI and an old project > (http://acx100.sourceforge.net/). You were looking at the cardbus controller (that's the chip that makes your cardbus slot part of the system, so to say), while acx100 is the driver for WLAN devices based on some WLAN chipset from TI. These are two different things. Bye, Mike |
