PCMCIA on PowerPC is problematic

PCMCIA setup on PowerBooks is sketchy, because I can't test it and get very little feedback from users. Only a subset of PCMCIA drivers have had any testing on PowerPC systems. The supported-cards list shows which drivers are reported to work on PowerPC; I have not heard that the Wavelan driver works. It may be ok, or it may have big-endian/little-endian issues that need to be sorted out. /etc/pcmcia/config.opts also needs to be configured specially. I would try changing the default memory and IO port windows to something like: include memory 0x80000000-0x80ffffff include port 0x100-0x1ff (remove the 0xc0000-0xfffff memory window, and the other IO port windows), and see if that works any better, at least for the modem card. -- Dave
