I'm about to purchase a HP NX7010 which has a currently unsupported MMC/SD card reader. It is my intention to attempt to write a driver for this reader (a Winbond w83l518d) and it'll make it easier with the MMC routines already in the kernel. Memory cards are beginning to replace floppys so the sooner linux has good support for them the better =) Are there any reason SD[IO] is left out? From what I can gather the unencrypted parts of SD are in the open now. Am I missing something here? Rgds Pierre Ossman PS. I'm not subscribed to the kernel list at the moment so please cc any replies. > *From:* Russell King (/rmk+lkml_at_arm.linux.org.uk/) > >Date: Sun, 2 May 2004 15:52:26 +0100 >To: Linux Kernel List > > > > On Thu, Apr 29, 2004 at 01:48:24PM +0100, Russell King wrote: > /> This patch adds core support to the Linux kernel for driving MMC / > /> interfaces found on embedded devices, such as found in the Intel / > /> PXA and ARM MMCI primecell.
