From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 Date: Mon, 13 Sep 1999 23:50:18 -0700 From: Hugh Caley Subject: PCMCIA on Powerbook G3 Series To: linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org Message-id: <37DDF029.25A4839F@loomer.com> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: 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the Mac serial driver at: http://xenu.phys.uit.no/~alvin/linux/pcmcia-serial.patch but I'm afraid to use something that out of date, and the other text there seems to imply that a special kernel config is necessary.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?
