>Description:
The "CODE REFERENCES" section of cardbus(9) is essentially copy-pasted from
pcmcia(9) with an s/pcmcia/cardbus/ afterwards. That's wrong unfortunately.
This part:
" The database of known devices exists within the file
sys/dev/cardbus/cardbus_data.h and is generated automatically from the file
sys/dev/cardbus/cardbusdevs.New vendor and product identifiers should be added
to this file. The database can be regenerated using the Makefile
sys/dev/cardbus/Makefile.cardbusdevs."
references two non-existing files: sys/dev/cardbus/cardbusdevs does not exist,
nor does Makefile.cardbusdevs. In fact you hook up new stuff the brutal way
(found by trying to hack some new hardware in, still not yet successful :( )
>How-To-Repeat:
man 9 cardbus.
Try to actually do what CODE REFERENCES suggests.
>Fix:
Replace section CODE REFERENCES with valid data and usual procedure to add
devices. As I was doing this with trial and error someone else most probably
qualifies better to write a description for that.
