PCMCIA firewire?

[matt n. <sp...@te...>]

G'day,

I've got a newer technolgies firewire 2 go pcmcia card (ohci based).  
It's on the list of supported cards from the pcmcia-cs folks, but with
release 3.1.23 of the pcmcia package it does not appear to be recognized.  
cardctl ident returns "no information" for that card.

I'm wondering has anyone had success with a pcmcia firewire card and if so
what card, kernel, and pcmcia release are you using?

I have 'some'experience with pcmcia-cs and firewire. I use a 'Cherri' 
FW card with this pci id's: 
pci 0x104c, 0x8019, (man-id, card-id).

I bring it at least to the recognition. But not further, don't know why. Really.
My platform is a Wallstreet Powerbook, kernel is plain 2.2.18  with
ieee1394 patches (latest from cvs) and some mac specific things. I can
insert/eject the card with cardinfo/cardctl with no problem. But I have
a self-id receiving problem. Maybe it is endian related?

Is your card recognized by the pci bus? (lspci -vv) If so, and your
pci-id is different than the one above you can enter a section like this
in /etc/pcmcia/config:

card "your-card"
  pci man-id, card-id (from cb_alloc in /var/log/messages after starting
the pcmcia service) 
  bind "ohci1394_cb" (if it is really a ohci based and not a pcilynx
one, otherwise you may can try to bind it to "pcilynx_cb"

It is may not correct the id stuff, but having a look into ohci1394
should show you some id's as well.

I'm not on the machine now, so some things may not be 100% correct.

Hello,

I have a Ratoc cardbus card working without major problems. I used a
patch for this (see the archives of the mailing list), but I think the
only 3 things you need to do are:

1) add these two paragraphs in the /etc/pcmcia/config file:

device "ohci1394"
	class "ieee1394" module "cb_enabler", "ohci1394", "raw1394",
"video1394"

and something like: (depends on your card, see the .log files)

card "RATOC IEEE-1394 OHCI CardBus Adapter CBFW2"
	version "RATOC Systems,Inc.", "IEEE1394 OHCI CBFW2"
	bind "ohci1394"

2) Also, in your /etc/modules.conf, add the following lines: 

alias char-major-171 raw1394
alias char-major-172 video1394

3) At last, add links to your modules in the
/lib/modules/[kernel_version]/pcmcia directory.


Good luck,

Damien

I thought the Newer Firewire 2 Go was a PCI-Lynx card, not OHCI.

The Newer Firewire 2 Go for the Mac is Lynx, the other one is OHCI.
