Re: [Wirelessdriver-devel] Trying to get SkyLine with PCI adapter to work

[Rob M. <ro...@ma...>]

Be sure to tell me which build of IOPCCardFamily you use.  I was talking to the person at Apple in charge of PCCard support in OS X and, apparently, PCI to PCMCIA/Cardbus adapters should work ok now.  If you're still finding this to be a problem, let me know both the make/model of the card and the specific chip that it's using.

The PC Card and PCI versions are almost the same, but need to be handled differently because of the different bus interface mechanisms.  Right now, the driver isn't checking to verify that it's really a PCCard interface, but will fail to map the memory if you hack it and it's really seeing something else.

This should work, but it sounds like there's something wrong with the support in IOPCCardFamily that's preventing it from mapping the memory through to the end driver.  I'd recommend getting the latest version of IOPCCardFamily from the Darwin CVS archive and compiling it in development mode and then sending a list of the output to me.  I can look it over and file a bug report with Apple if it's needed.
