DESCRIPTION

The ­i82365 driver provides an interface to an Intel 82365-compatible PCMCIA interface chip.  This chip supports up to 2 PCMCIA slots, 0 and 1.  Reading ­pcm[01]attr returns the contents of attribute memory.  Reading or writing ­pcm[01]mem reads or writes RAM on the card.  Reading ­pcm[01]ctl returns the card’s status. 

This driver must be included to use PCMCIA devices such as the NE4100 Ethernet card.  The individual card drivers make calls to routines in the PCMCIA driver.
