Subject: PCMCIA on Powerbook G3 Series
Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 23:50:18 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <37DDF029.25A4839F@loomer.com> (raw)
Is it possible yet to use PCMCIA on a PB G3 Series laptop? I used to have a
Wallstreet, and now I have a Lombard, plus Paul Mackerras' kernel source tree,
and I never got it working on either. I just installed the latest 3.1
pcmcia-cs, and simply inserting my little Viking smart card adaptor causes a
kernel panic every time, and having it in at boot does the same thing.
This card works fine under MacOS, and also under Linux for x86; it just shows
up as another drive on the desktop (or as another mountable drive).
There is an old patch for the Mac serial driver at:
http://xenu.phys.uit.no/~alvin/linux/pcmcia-serial.patch
but I'm afraid to use something that out of date, and the other text there
seems to imply that a special kernel config is necessary. Also, it seems
related to Mac serial support and modems, and my card doesn't have anything to
do with either one, as far as I can tell.
Anyone have more up to date information?
Hugh
