Well, I'm sort of assuming here that the 0x4c refer to the offset in the
mapped area. It could also be the register number. Somewho knows how the
freebsd setup worked would have to check this.

You could try it out by removing the "/ sizeof(u32)".

I'm assuming you fixed the type of io_mem and added the missing assignment.

I don't know of any success stories in linux.

As far as I know, that driver works fine for the pcmcia card, but has no
idea about the PCI adapter.

No idea. All the docs seem to be available on the web. We're just not
putting it together right...
