The hardware is the iBurst wireless broadband PCMCIA card. The driver is named "ibut".


Thanks for the pointer to Xen - I will try that first while I mess with trying to port the driver.

If you have the source, it's probably worth trying.  Often it's
search & replace work and then clenaups.  That said lots of vendor
drivers are really bad and need major reworking so it will depend how
bad it is.

I have no idea of either. I get lots of compile-time errors showing missing symbols, so the linux libraries have certainly changed. So I would probably need to research how PCMCIA changed between the releases. The comments in the driver say the PCMCIA part is based in part on a dummy PCMCIA driver (dummy_cs.c) from a mandrake 8.0 distro, so hopefully it isn't too bad.


Thanks again for your help.

Cheers!
Nik.
