Not only for 760ED!
TP765L/TP765D have the same problem, too. I can't test the patch right now, but maybe I'll do that in a month or so... --Eflags 03:02, 1 February 2008 (CET)
Works on 760XL as well
I patched and compiled linux-2.6.18.6 on one of my antique 760XL's, worked like a charm, will try later on a 760EL i have if i can find it, suspect it will work there as well.
Wonder what the odds of getting a patch for this antique hardware into the main kernel?
Is this still a current issue with modern kernels? 2.6.18 is ancient. If so, and the patch is clean it would be best for the author of the patch to submit it to the PCMCIA maintainers, which according to the MAINTAINERS file is;
PCMCIA SUBSYSTEM P: Linux PCMCIA Team L: linux-pcmcia@lists.infradead.org W: http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pcmcia T: git git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/brodo/pcmcia-2.6.git S: Maintained F: Documentation/pcmcia/ F: drivers/pcmcia/ F: include/pcmcia/
Alternatively, look at who has lately made changes to the yenta driver, and ask if they can help to upstream the patch http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=history;f=drivers/pcmcia/yenta_socket.c;h=HEAD
