- Matching of PCMCIA devices to drivers is done using one or more of the
- following criteria:
- - manufactor ID
- - card ID
- - product ID strings _and_ hashes of these strings
- - function ID
- - device function (actual and pseudo)
- You should use the helpers in include/pcmcia/device_id.h for generating the
- struct pcmcia_device_id[] entries which match devices to drivers.
- If you want to match product ID strings, you also need to pass the crc32
- hashes of the string to the macro, e.g. if you want to match the product ID
- string 1, you need to use
- PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID1("some_string", 0x(hash_of_some_string)),
- If the hash is incorrect, the kernel will inform you about this in "dmesg"
- upon module initialization, and tell you of the correct hash.
- You can determine the hash of the product ID strings by catting the file
- "modalias" in the sysfs directory of the PCMCIA device. It generates a string
- in the following form:
- pcmcia:m0149cC1ABf06pfn00fn00pa725B842DpbF1EFEE84pc0877B627pd00000000
- The hex value after "pa" is the hash of product ID string 1, after "pb" for
- string 2 and so on.
- Alternatively, you can use crc32hash (see Documentation/pcmcia/crc32hash.c)
- to determine the crc32 hash. Simply pass the string you want to evaluate
- as argument to this program, e.g.:
- $ ./crc32hash "Dual Speed"
