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. Andreas |
