ThinkPad 600 - CardBus inoperative

Sat Feb 23 20:39:38 UTC 2008

It seems like I have found a workaround for my ThinkPad 600 cardbus problem.
(I wouldn't call it a fix). Here is what I did:

                                 continue;
                         if (dinfo->pci.cfg.mfdev)



This small patch simply retries up to three times the read during card attach.
The first try fails, and returns NULL. But the second try succeeds, the card
gets initialized and is working properly. Perhaps someone with more in-depth
knowledge of the pci/cardbus stuff has an explanation, why that is happening.

As has been confirmed by others, the ThinkPad 600 also has some interrupt
routing issues. As far as I can tell, these can either be fixed by putting
some hw.pci.link.LNK?.irq tunables into /boot/loader.conf, or by using a fixed
ACPI DSDT. Both methods work for me, but the card not being initialized due to
the first read returning NULL, seems to be a different problem. Possibly sort
of timing problem???
