[jongk@linux-m68k.org: PCMCIA Testers/hardware needed]

[Kars de J. <jo...@li...>]

At the request of Michel Danzer, I'm posting this to these lists too.

I'm not sure if it will even work on Linux/APUS though. Does the normal
PCMCIA NE2000 stuff work on Linux/APUS? I.E. CONFIG_APNE?

Hi everyone,

I've written a PCMCIA card services socket driver for the Amiga Gayle
controller, found in the Amiga 600 and 1200. I've tested it at home with my
A1200 and NE2000 clone network card, and it works fine. Hot insertion/removal
with automatic setting up of network routes etc.

However, this card is the ONLY PCMCIA hardware I have. Therefore I would
really like to have people either send me their hardware so I can test it 
(;-)) or people who'd like to try out the new card services driver on their
Amigas.

Serial cards are not currently supported because the m68k serial support in
2.2.10 is not compatible enough with the PC serial module.

For obvious reasons only the cards normally supported on the PC by the PCMCIA
card services are an option.

If you have such a card, please let me know and I'll send you the patches so
you can have a go at testing it.

I'm still talking to David Hinds, the Linux PCMCIA card services maintainer,
about how to integrate this, since it requires quite some changes in the low
level drivers.

Kars.
