I think we may want to introduce PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD_PROD_ID3 and match

PCMCIA_DEVICE_MANF_CARD_PROD_ID3(0x0156, 0x0002, "Version 1.02", xxx)

Maybe some other card would be supported too? I doubt there are any
Agere or Symbol cards with "Version 1.02" in the third text ID.

Yes, that looks good, it would match my card too:
product info: "LG", "11Mbps Wireless LAN PCI Card", "Version 01.02", ""
manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
function: 6 (network)

Good to know.

---------------------------

Add generic "Version 01.02" match (used by many different cards) to hostap_cs.

This allows LG LW1100P PCI card (with integrated CardBus bridge) to work
(tested with rev 3.0) and probably also LW1100N (PCMCIA).

That's not the right way to submit patches. Anyway, I sent 3 patches to that effect yesterday. One in for PCMCIA, the second is for hostap_cs and the third is for orinoco_cs to recognize "Version 01.01" as Agere firmware and to stop claiming 0x0156:0x0002 unconditionally.

I have no idea how interdependent series of patches that touch more than one subsystem are applied, but I guess there is a standard way.
