NAME

     cardbus, cbb - introduction to Cardbus support


SYNOPSIS

     cbb*      at pci? dev? function ?
     cardslot* at cbb? flags 0x0000
     cardbus*  at cardslot?
     pcmcia*   at cardslot?
     XX*       at cardbus? dev ? function ?


INTRODUCTION

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

     The flags are used with cardslot definition.  The lowest order bit
     (rightmost bit) of the flags define the pccard attach sequence at the
     boot time.  When the bit is set, a pccard on the slot is probed and at-
     tached immidiately.  On the other hand, the pccard is probed after kernel
     thread wakes up.  If a pccard is used as a boot device (ex. CF card or
     network card), you should set the bit 1.


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
           ahc      Adaptec ADP-1480

   USB controllers
           ohci     Open Host Controller driver
