[Wirelessdriver-support] PCI->PCMCIA support?

[Eric L. <er...@ra...>]

Hi, I am trying to see if there is any support for running supported
PCMCIA cards in a normal desktop machine via a PCI->PCMCIA bridge.

I downloaded the "Beta 5 for Jaguar" yesterday and tried it, but it
didn't load the driver.  That files looks pretty old, so I was
wondering if perhaps support is just around the corner or what.

So relevant info on my attempt:

Running 10.2.5, 450G4 on a Gigabite board.  Rom 3.4f1

I am using a Lucent PCI->PCMCIA card (015219 Rev. A(Rev 1.0))
Main chip is a PCI1410PGE
On the card it has stamped: REV-2 7th July 2000
PCIC1CR20 P/N 901501

Apple System Profiler recognizes that I have a PC Card inserted [Displays: PCI->PCCard]

Looking at the dmesg output I see:

IOPCCard info:  Mac OS X PCMCIA Card Services 3.1.22
IOPCCard info:    options:  [pci] [cardbus] [pnp]
IOPCCardBridge::GetOFConfigurationSettings: failed to the configure machine
IOPCCardBridge::getConfigurationSettings: unable to configure model name "PowerMac3,3".

So it looks suspicously like the driver doesn't like the idea it is
being loaded on non PowerBook.  I went and modified the Info.plist in
the driver file so that it had a PowerMac3,3 entry and rebooted, but
it didn't like that either, same error.  If I wanted to try and work
out the configuration stuff would I need to download the src and
rebuild the driver?

Anyinfo would you useful, thanks!  I might try the IOExperts driver
tonight and see if it recognizes the card.
