Dominik Brodowski | 5085cb2 | 2005-06-27 16:28:45 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 1 | Matching of PCMCIA devices to drivers is done using one or more of the |
| 2 | following criteria: |
| 3 | |
| 4 | - manufactor ID |
| 5 | - card ID |
| 6 | - product ID strings _and_ hashes of these strings |
| 7 | - function ID |
| 8 | - device function (actual and pseudo) |
| 9 | |
| 10 | You should use the helpers in include/pcmcia/device_id.h for generating the |
| 11 | struct pcmcia_device_id[] entries which match devices to drivers. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | If you want to match product ID strings, you also need to pass the crc32 |
| 14 | hashes of the string to the macro, e.g. if you want to match the product ID |
| 15 | string 1, you need to use |
| 16 | |
| 17 | PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID1("some_string", 0x(hash_of_some_string)), |
| 18 | |
| 19 | If the hash is incorrect, the kernel will inform you about this in "dmesg" |
| 20 | upon module initialization, and tell you of the correct hash. |
| 21 | |
Dominik Brodowski | eb05bfe | 2005-06-30 02:58:47 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 22 | You can determine the hash of the product ID strings by catting the file |
| 23 | "modalias" in the sysfs directory of the PCMCIA device. It generates a string |
Dominik Brodowski | 5085cb2 | 2005-06-27 16:28:45 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 24 | in the following form: |
| 25 | pcmcia:m0149cC1ABf06pfn00fn00pa725B842DpbF1EFEE84pc0877B627pd00000000 |
| 26 | |
| 27 | The hex value after "pa" is the hash of product ID string 1, after "pb" for |
| 28 | string 2 and so on. |

| 31 | to determine the crc32 hash. Simply pass the string you want to evaluate |
| 32 | as argument to this program, e.g.: |
Dominik Brodowski | 5085cb2 | 2005-06-27 16:28:45 -0700 | [diff] [blame] | 33 | $ ./crc32hash "Dual Speed" |
