Tak ešte samotný ovládač...
Hmmm
Ku funkčnosti toho driveru je potrebný ten binárny uzavretý blob - mám veľké pochybnosti, či by sa to dalo prepašovať do jadra.
To nie je o blobe... blob by sa dostal do distier, do jadra iba samostatny ovladac! Mam zacat rozoberat iwl3945 ktory je v jadre a firmware ktory je uz mimo jadra ? :)
Moc moc ti fandim v tvojej praci! Ked sa mi podarilo konecne rozbehat tu kartu, bolo to vdaka tebe, niekde si spominal ten ovladac, ktory som ja uz iba stiahol :)... teraz robis este viac :) respect
Mal som jedného času aj modem, ale nedalo sa to porovnávať s rýchlosťou a stabilitou. Modem som mal nútene, keď som kúpil notebook bez PCMCIA slotu. Ten mi ale dcéra do pol roka pokazila (vylámala tlačítka na klávesnici), tak som si kúpil Lenovo R5OO a vrátil sa k PCMCIA karte (a manželka zdedila zánovný notebook na azet :P )
Sorry to post in English, but I didn't find this kind of discussion anywhere else in web, and you might be interested in this patch for 2.6.31
In ft1000_hw.c (of version 2.6.29 of this driver) you need to make the following changes around line 2211:

I didn't yet try the card but at least it compiles against 2.6.31 now.
I would like to keep working this card longer time (as long as possible - it means until close service from T-Mobile, or move to neighbor country (ČR), where I work and where it will not work :) ), but due to some technical problems (and due to advent working version of alpha release Ubuntu 9.10 ) I forgot look at kernel version 2.6.30 and higher.
Thank for cooperation.
BTW... there is no other-language discussion about this card because (AFAIK) this card (or Flarion technology) is in use only here (Slovak republic).
Regards
At least here in Finland card is used commonly and our local 450MHz service provider (Digita) supplies with a special firmware for the card.
Oh, great :P Nice to hear it.
Update: I tried the card, and it worked perfectly.
Hi all,
the patch mentioned earlier is not sufficient. There are some more changes in recent 2.6.31.x kernels. Together with Andrej Elias we've founded a project on sourceforge that will keep the driver up with latest kernels (as I use Arch and PCMCIA version of the card). Currently it compiles, installs and works well with 2.6.31.4 kernel. You can find the sourceforge project here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ft1000/
Best Regards, Slavius
Pre podporu najnovsich stable jadier bol zalozeny spolu s Andrejom Eliasom projekt na sourceforge, ktory najdete tu: http://sourceforge.net/projects/ft1000/ Momentalne je plna podpora pre 2.6.31 jadro (napr. distribucie Arch, Fedora 12, Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala, atd.)
