NAME

     cardbus, cardslot, cbb -- CardBus driver


SYNOPSIS

     cbb*      at pci? dev? function ?
     cardslot* at cbb?
     cardbus*  at cardslot?
     pcmcia*   at cardslot?
     XX*       at cardbus? dev ? function ?


DESCRIPTION

     NetBSD provides machine-independent bus support and drivers for CardBus
     devices.

     The cbb device represents the CardBus controller.  Each controller has a
     number of slots, represented by the cardslot devices. A slot can have
     either a CardBus card or a PCMCIA card, which are attached with the
     cardbus or pcmcia devices, respectively.


SUPPORTED DEVICES

     NetBSD includes the following machine-independent CardBus drivers, sorted
     by function and driver name:

   Network interfaces
           ex       3Com 3c575TX and 3c575BTX
           fxp      Intel i8255x
           rtk      Realtek 8129/8139
           tlp      DECchip 21143

   Serial interfaces
           com      Modems and serial cards

   SCSI controllers
           adv      AdvanSys 1200[A,B], 9xx[U,UA]
           ahc      Adaptec ADP-1480

   USB controllers
           ehci     Enhanced Host Controller (2.0)
           ohci     Open Host Controller


DIAGNOSTICS

     cbb devices may not be properly handled by the system BIOS on i386-family
     systems.  If, on an i386-family system, the cbb driver reports
           cbb0: NOT USED because of unconfigured interrupt
     then enabling
           options PCIBIOS
           options PCIBIOS_BUS_FIXUP
           options PCIBIOS_INTR_FIXUP
     in the kernel configuration might be of use.
