cardbus card behind a pci to pci bridge

[Harald Jung <jung@ecos.de>]

Hi,

it seems that it isn't possible to map the memory of a pcmcia card or to read 
from it if it is behind a pci to pci bridge.
I know that there were some hacks/patches for problems like this, but none of 
these patches worked with the hardware i use.

It doesn't matter which kind of cardbus-adapter is use, so the problem depends 
on the chipset i use : 
it is an nvidia nForce 420 Chipset on an Asus A7N266 Mainboard.

There were some patches for the yenta driver but i think it could be possible, 
that the ds module has problems with this hardware enviroment, too.

I have tryed various memory windows for the pcmcia card, but it doen't find a 
clear memory window at all.


greetings,
Harald Jung
