hello!

no bother. The easy way to get the driver built/installed is the
following...

1. unpack pcmcia-cs source (I'll assume to /usr/src/pcmcia-cs)
1a. optionally build and test it unpatched to make sure you're familiar
with the process and have a working configuration.
2. unpack the gpr400_cs source like so:
        - cd /usr/src/pcmcia-cs
        - tar -xvzf /path/to/gpr400_cs-0.9.6.tar.gz
   This willl effectively 'patch' pcmcia-cs to add the gpr400 drivers
3. rebuild pcmcia-cs as in step 1a
   - if you have a built, working pcmcia-cs tree, simply issuing 'make'
will build just the gpr400_cs driver
4. install pcmcia-cs as normal, the gpr400_cs and supporting files will
be installed along with the pcmcia-cs stuff - eg. 'make install'

There are a few files that need to be installed in order for the driver
to work properly. By doing it by hand, you may have missed something.
I suggest you try the above procedure and let me know how it goes.

Try the above on a laptop or x86 system. There are known issues with
ARM/iPaq in version 0.9.6.

In my CVS, I currently have patches that should work with ARM/iPaq.
They are in testing and as soon as I have sign-off, we'll cut version
0.9.7 with ARM/iPaq support.

If I don't hear back from my tester early this coming week, I'll send
you the tarball so you can test it for me.

Subscribe to the MUSCLE (sclinuxlinuxnet.com) mail list and I'll make
an announcement as soon as the new version is available. I'm cc'ing the
MUSCLE list so everyone can benefit from the above info.

Hi joe, pardon me for bothering you as I found some emails posting of
yours on Gemplus GPR400 PCMCIA driver driver from Linuxnet.com.
 
I am working on something similar but using kernel 2.4.18 and pcmcia-cs
3.1.34, nevertheless the concepts should be the same. My story goes
like this. I have done the following:
 
a) downloaded
http://www.innovationsw.com/~jaiger/downloads/smartcard/gpr400_cs-0.9.6.tar.gz
b) compiled gpr400_cs.o and copied it into /lib/modules/2.4.18/misc
c) Edited /etc/config with
 
device "gpr400_cs"
  class "smartcard" module "gpr400_cs"
card "GEMPLUS GPR400 Smart Card Reader"
    version "GEMPLUS", "GPR400", "V1.0", ""
    bind "gpr400_cs"
card "GEMPLUS GPR400 Smart Card Reader"
    version "GEMPLUS", "GPR400", "V1.1", ""
    bind "gpr400_cs"
 
d) Rebooted the laptop, and cardmgr didn't detect the cardreader and
load gpr400_cs
 
My questions are:
a) My steps are correct as i followed the standard procedure ?
b) Should I update cardmgr and cardctl also ?
 
Also I have a similar project that requires to install the gpr400
cardreader on a ipaq. I followed the above procedures but
cross-compiled using CC=arm-linux-gcc, rebooting the ipaq shows
 
cardmgr[123]: socket 0: GEMPLUS GPR400 Smart Card Reader
cardmgr[123]: executing: 'modprobe gpr400_cs'
gpr400_cs: Card Services release does not match!
gpr400_cs: RequestIRQ: Resource in use
cardmgr[123]: get dev info on socket 0 failed: Resource temporarily
unavailable
 
What issues am I facing, and any solutions.
 
thanks
