Hi, can someone enlighten me on how to exclude an IO range from the
kernel pcmcia modules (pcmcia_core, yenta_socket and ds) in kernel 2.6?
Ive tried reading the module code and am non the wiser.
It appears the kernel modules are totally different than the pcmcia_cs
modules and there's no way to pass arguments to them - at least they
dont understand or segfault when I try and modprobe them with
arguments. I want to do the equivalent of "exclude port 0x800-0x8ff"
that pcmcia_cs would put in /etc/pcmcia/config.opts which 2.6 does not
use.
The problem is that some dell laptops suffer from corrupt kernel space
and hang when you insert a cardbus card without this exclude.
