I am currently playing with PCMCIA/Cardbus stuff on several machines. On the
Wallstreet, there is no "manual" way to eject a card (except with a paper clip).
I added a patch by Harald Roelle to the pcmcia package which talks to the pmu to
do this (see http://www.roelle.com/wvlanPPC/data/pcmcia-3.1.17-pmac.patch).
Although the software talks to the PMU (I added a few debug lines to via_pmu.c),
the card is _not_ ejected. Were there any recent changes in the pmu stuff? I use
Ben's latest stable test kernel (2.2.17pre20-ben3). Any ideas how I could track
down the problem?
BTW, do the Lombard and Pismo support automatic ejection of CardBus cards? This
would be _really_ cool...
Thanks in advance, Albrecht.

Harald Roelle's pcmcia-3.1.17-pmac.patch does not work well on my PB2400c.
I fixed this problem and wrote usb_cb.c for CardBus USB OHCI cards.

Thanks for your links... Your patches do indeed eject a CardBus card on my
Wallstreet. Great! However, I think the mechanics is a little problematic on
this box, as the card sometimes seems to have contact to the connector after the
eject. This leads to an immediate re-recognition of the card, and as the contact
is everything but perfect, I get a panic. Maybe I try to file more than one
eject command to the PMU and see what happens...
Thanks again, Albrecht.

Here, 2.4 may help. I think the PCMCIA layer has some de-bouncing
mecanism, and inb/outb should no longer cause a panic when accessing non-
existent HW. For memory-mapped devices, you may still have a problem,
which could be solved by the oops patch (in linuxppc_2_5 but not in _2_3
yet) which would cause the driver to oops rather than panic (well, in
most cases...)
