I've not seen anything in this list (or the PCMCIA project pages) about PCMCIA 1394 cards. Are any known to be supported/ are there plans to support them? Is this an issue for PCMCIA, or for 1394 lists- or both? I have a WesternDigital 1394 PCCard, and would like to use it under Linux. I installed the 1394 kernel patch, but the card isn't recognized by the card manager. Does anyone have any experience with this specific card? Thanks, Andrew |

I've done a lot of work trying to get the 1394 subsystem to do CardBus cards. I can get my OHCI card to recognize and almost self-id, but for some reason interrupts never really make it to the card. I haven't had time to look into this recently, but I'll be doing so within a month, since I'll probably need it. The key is a rewrite of the host management code, since it's very not 2.3 friendly. I need to get my changes applied to the latest code so I can submit a patch, then get the host controller drivers rearranged so they work. Then CardBus should be close to working.
