[9fans] need to get at 3rd pcmcia slot

[9fans] need to get at 3rd pcmcia slot

[Steve Kotsopoulos]

My ACER-350 laptop has integrated smartcard reader and wavelan,
and the same Megahertz 574B ethernet card in the 1 pcmcia slot
that Boyd recently reported. I'd like to get the wireless ethernet running
but the wavelan isn't recognised as one of the first 2 pcmcia slots.

[btw, why do they make internal devices show up on the pcmcia bus?]

Has anyone modified devi82365.c to support >2 pcmcia slots?

here are the details of what is found, if that helps

yup, that's a 574B.  i'm not going to worry about that, for the
moment.  i'm gonna stick with the 'truckload of magtapes', err
'handful of cd-r's/floppies'.  i'll tame that later.

i want to charm python (and kill configure) first, now i can type.

it's not perfect:

    alt alt-gr ` e

does not give me a �, but i can type that directly.  anyway,
i can type ascii, which is all i need for the moment.

the trouble is that i don't want to make it too vaio specific,
but i don't think it is.  the code changes are trivial, but not
exactly obvious.

writing code on azerty really sucks;  none of the 'special'
characters are easy to get to, it's always alt-gr + char
and the redirection chars show up on scancode 0x56 <sigh>.

and no smashed file-systems :)

and i'm having fun.

because that's where they are?
i'm actually happier if they therefore use an existing interface.
the problem on the PC is working out where things are.
PCI looked as though it would solve that (eg, vendor id,device id,port numbers) but
then they added all that IRQ routing stuff.  perhaps next century.
