The EPP mode autoprobe code in the Linux 2.2.1 kernel seems not to
work correctly in some cases. If there is a EPP and not ECP capable
ISA adapter card (e.g. EX 4076) installed, the following
problem occures during card detection:
- SPP/PS2 detection runs without any problem
- the adapter card does not contain a ECR register, so EPP capability
needs to be detected via EPP timeout condition
- if there is no device connected to the belonging port, a EPP timeout
occures and the EPP mode is detected
- if a device is connected and the device is in EPP mode, the EPP timeout
will never happen, because the EPP cycle is always completed. The EPP
mode can't be detected in this case.
Hardware: ExSys EX 4076 Multi IO card, ham radio EPP fifo modem
Is there any new driver patch to solve this problem ?
Thanks,
Steffen
