I agree with Donald !!! A such device is very complicated , cause on bootup , a bios ( PCI Bios ) is needed to configure PCI card ( IRQs , IOs ... ) and I don't think that an emulation of this hard is possible thinking that PCMCIA is already a bus with his own configuration ! More , on Hardware , the PCI configuration space is located on PCI Bios , directly accessible on Bios of the computer , and if a such device exists , it is not sure that the PCI searching device of drivers work (cause they search in a special Bios Area ) ! A PCMCIA NetCard would be cheaper with less complication. -- KUMSTA Christophe -- <kumsta@easynet.fr>-- real-time system developper -- RT-Linux (Use the source luke) _______________________________________________________________________ Le CULTe sur le ouebe: http://savage.iut-blagnac.fr/
