    Subjectcardbus/pci question
    I could not find any information on this in the archives, so I thought I 
    might ask it here.
    
    Theoretically, it should be possible to write cardbus driver as a 
    regular PCI driver. It will
    not support hotplug, of course, but if one can assume that the hardware 
    is plugged in by the
    time the driver is loaded, it should work. One issue does bother me a 
    little bit - cardbus is
    connected to the PCI bus through a bridge. The question is - do I have 
    to configure that bridge
    from my driver (to get memory mappings and interrupts), because 
    obviously the OS won't
    do it for me when I'm not registered as cardbus driver.
    
    Thanks.
