This is not quite finished yet, and therefore I have not added it to the usr.sbin/Makefile yet. I collected a bunch of Andrews small programs into one: pccardc /phk Reviewed by: phk Submitted by: Andrew McRae <andrew@mega.com.au>

PCMCIA Support for FreeBSD 2.0
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This package contains the following:
|
|
|
|
- Driver for Intel 83265 PCIC PCMCIA controller
|
|
- A PCMCIA daemon for managing card insertions/removals
|
|
- Diffs to various source files for adding PCMCIA support
|
|
- A sample config file
|
|
- Some utility programs for reading card data tuples
|
|
- Some documentation.
|
|
|
|
What it doesn't include is:
|
|
|
|
- Configuration for brand XYZ PCMCIA cards
|
|
- Drivers for brand XYZ PCMCIA cards
|
|
- Diffs to modify standard drivers to handle card events
|
|
|
|
Essentially, this package contains everything required to
|
|
add PCMCIA support to FreeBSD 2.0. It does this via a
|
|
daemon that manages the PCMCIA slots via a PCIC driver. A configuration
|
|
file provides the daemon with the information required to setup
|
|
the specific cards, and to manage card insertion and removal.
|
|
|
|
This package has been tested on a NEC Versa Laptop.
|
|
The first version was developed on FreeBSD 1.1.5.1.
|
|
|
|
The main idea behind the package is for pcmciad to detect
|
|
inserted cards and match to a card ID in the config file,
|
|
then set up the I/O ports and memory window to the card
|
|
according to the data for the driver associated with the
|
|
card, then attach the kernel driver to the device. Shell
|
|
commands can be executed for both insertion and removal of cards,
|
|
and different commands can be executed for different cards,
|
|
drivers and devices.
|
|
|
|
Different kernel drivers may have to have some mods
|
|
done to recognise the card once installed; I have included
|
|
some diffs to `ed' that allows recognition of a `generic'
|
|
NS8390 card.
|
|
|
|
Some minor changes were made to ifconfig(8) to allow a
|
|
different ethernet address to be assigned to a network
|
|
interface, since each card may have different locations
|
|
the ethernet address is stored in.
|
|
|
|
This is a snapshot of a release for FreeBSD 2.0. It is
|
|
basically the 1.1.5.1 release ported for 2.0. I have only
|
|
just received a developer's guide for PCMCIA, so I should
|
|
have some more stable support soon.
|
|
|
|
For instructions on installation, see INSTALL.
|
|
There is a man entry on the daemon (pcmciad.8),
|
|
and the config file (pcmcia.conf.5).
|
|
|
|
Please send mail with any bugs or new card descriptions.
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
