dave, et al, [note - i just wrote this gigantic email. if you want the question, skip to the bottom] i have been using the pcmcia stuff from you for a bit now, and have just downloaded the latest linux (2.3.42 at this point in time) kernel to play with. the pcmcia stuff there seems different than in the latest from the pcmcia tree (i use 3.1.9, but i'm getting around to 3.1.10). my question stems from the fact that under the 2.3.42 kernel, i experience different/broken pcmcia behavior which i didn't when i used a 2.2 kernel with pcmcia 3.1.9. (if anyone is interested, i have an oem ecom 10/100 pc card which is recognized, works, etc, under the kernel 2.3.42, but when i eject it, the system hangs. other issues include that my aironet4800 card, which _allegedly_ has drivers in the 2.3.42 stuff, doesn't get recognized. ok, so this is a long-winded way of getting to the point/question. which is: what process do you use to merge the pcmcia tree, and the linux kernel tree. will we see the two merged in the 2.3 timeframe? secondly, are 3.odd.* pcmcia kernels labeled similarly as the linux kernel convention, that is, that 3.odd.* is development, and 3.even.* is stable? thanks for the newbie q/a. bob |
