Sierra Wireless / AC775 / Loading an external cisfile as a 'quirck'

Sat Nov 12 15:45:08 GMT 2005

I've got the (correct) CIS files below for a Sierra Wireeless Airnet 775
(AC775) card. The actual data on the card (see second cut-and-paste) is
wrong (i.e. multi function instead of a modem).

So I am looking for a way to either import a CIS file dynamically; at run
time - or to translate a CIS file in what I assume should be a quirk entry
in the file /sys/dev/pccard/pccard_cis_quirks.c (is that corect) ?

I.e. something akin to:

	#cat SW_775_SER.dat > /dev/pccard0.cis

Looking for a solution on either 5, 6 or CURRENT.

Any hints - or guidance how to best map this into the quirk section - as
the fields are not quite clear to me.

-- part 1 - supposedly correct CIS file as supplied
for other OS-es.
