Pcmcia & sony memory stick [Scan]

[Franck Routier <franck.routier@axege.com>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to make my "memory stick" (sony) internal reader work on a 
samsung x10 laptop.

This internal reader is in fact slot 0 of my RICOH yenta pcmcia controller.
Right now I have :

$ /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
Starting PCMCIA services: using yenta_socket instead of i82365
cardmgr[4713]: watching 2 sockets
done.

$ pcic_probe
PCI bridge probe: Ricoh RL5C476 found, 2 sockets.

When I insert my card, I get :

$ tail -f /var/log/daemon.log
Jun 29 18:15:23 etamine cardmgr[4793]: unsupported card in socket 0
Jun 29 18:15:23 etamine cardmgr[4793]:   product info: "RICOH", "Bay 
Controller"

$ cardctl ident
Socket 0:
 product info: "RICOH", "Bay Controller"
 manfid: 0x0000, 0x0000
 function: 254 ((null))
Socket 1:
 no product info available

$ cardctl status
Socket 0:
 3.3V 16-bit PC Card
 function 0: [ready]
Socket 1:
 no card

Then I have tried to fool cardmgr, and I added this in /etc/pcmcia/config :

card "Sony Memory Stick"
 manfid 0x0000, 0x0000
 bind "ide-cs"

Then, if I restart cardmgr, I get a little bit further, but not much... :

$ /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart
Shutting down PCMCIA services: done.
Starting PCMCIA services: using yenta_socket instead of i82365
cardmgr[4952]: watching 2 sockets
done.

I insert the card, and :

etamine:/home/franck# tail -f /var/log/daemon.log
Jun 29 18:20:25 etamine cardmgr[4953]: socket 0: Sony Memory Stick
Jun 29 18:20:25 etamine cardmgr[4953]: executing: 'modprobe ide-cs'
Jun 29 18:20:25 etamine cardmgr[4953]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: 
No such device

This is my first try with pcmcia, and I must admit that after reading 
the howto and trying my best, I lost... Has anyone a clue on that ?

Thanks in advance,

Franck
