tifm driver keeps MemoryStick light on
Last modified: 2008-05-06 21:13:47 EDT
2.6.20-1.2942.fc7 on i686 The tifm_7xx1 driver keeps the MemoryStick card on my Vaio S1XP always on. The only relevant dmesg entry: tifm_7xx1: sd card detected in socket 0 Under Windows, the light only comes on when doing I/O to a card inserted in the device. Homepage: http://developer.berlios.de/projects/tifmxx/ The page at http://openfacts.berlios.de/index-en.phtml?title=TI_FlashMedia_xx12/xx21_driver mentions that the driver in 2.6.20 might be broken: " Version 0.6 of the driver is included with stock 2.6.19 release of the linux kernel. Version 0.8 should compile on 2.6.20 kernels and can be used as a replacement for the shipped (and quite unfortunately, buggy) one. It's in progress of merging into the main kernel tree. "
