5 | Matching of PCMCIA devices to drivers is done using one or more of the |
6 | following criteria: | |
7 | ||
8 | - manufactor ID | |
9 | - card ID | |
10 | - product ID strings _and_ hashes of these strings | |
11 | - function ID | |
12 | - device function (actual and pseudo) | |
13 | ||
14 | You should use the helpers in include/pcmcia/device_id.h for generating the | |
15 | struct pcmcia_device_id[] entries which match devices to drivers. | |
16 | ||
17 | If you want to match product ID strings, you also need to pass the crc32 | |
18 | hashes of the string to the macro, e.g. if you want to match the product ID | |
19 | string 1, you need to use | |
20 | ||
21 | PCMCIA_DEVICE_PROD_ID1("some_string", 0x(hash_of_some_string)), | |
22 | ||
23 | If the hash is incorrect, the kernel will inform you about this in "dmesg" | |
24 | upon module initialization, and tell you of the correct hash. | |

26 | You can determine the hash of the product ID strings by catting the file |
27 | "modalias" in the sysfs directory of the PCMCIA device. It generates a string | |
5085cb26 DB |
28 | in the following form: |
29 | pcmcia:m0149cC1ABf06pfn00fn00pa725B842DpbF1EFEE84pc0877B627pd00000000 | |
30 | ||
31 | The hex value after "pa" is the hash of product ID string 1, after "pb" for | |
32 | string 2 and so on. | |

d29693bf RD |
35 | to determine the crc32 hash. Simply pass the string you want to evaluate |
36 | as argument to this program, e.g.: | |
a67cd548 | 37 | $ tools/pcmcia/crc32hash "Dual Speed" |
