I am trying to export a PCMCIA bridge (a ricoh on a PCI card) and don''t seem to be able to. I get a message about xenlinux being unable to export a device whos type isn''t normal or 0. Can anyone shed some light on this ? Im struggling to get an accesspoint up and running in a DomU and was going to try hostap on a prism2 PCMCIA card since all the atheros mad-wifi drivers just seem to get me stuck in that dreaded "stuck beacon" problem. -- Jason The place where you made your stand never mattered, only that you were there... and still on your feet _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
I found a version of mad-wifi (svn 1431) that does not seem to have the beacon bug so the urgency of my question is relieved, but I''m still curious if anyone has an answer. -- Jason The place where you made your stand never mattered, only that you were there... and still on your feet On Wed, 5 Apr 2006, Jason wrote:> I am trying to export a PCMCIA bridge (a ricoh on a PCI card) and don''t seem > to be able to.

There is some code in there for it, but it is not yet complete. Another problem that you may have is that there is not yet a way to notify the frontend (in your driver domain) that a device has been added or removed (i.e. hotplug is not supported yet). Unfortunately, I don''t think I can offer you much help in getting this working as I''ve not yet tested the code myself with any pcmcia or cardbus devices.
