| |
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.
