| 4 |  |  | The Neodio Card reader/writer is an USB storage device for reading | 
| 5 |  |  | CompactFlash cards. It needs some special initialization code to work | 
| 6 |  |  | properly. This kernel patch provides it. It should work with all 2.4 | 
| 7 |  |  | kernels, though it has been tested only with 2.4.19 and 2.4.20. It is | 
| 8 |  |  | unneeded (but harmless to install) on 2.6 kernels. | 
| 9 |  |  |  | 
| 10 |  |  | The Neodio Card read/writer is also branded as Lead Data. The USB ids: | 
| 11 |  |  | Vendor Id:  0aec | 
| 12 |  |  | Product Id: 5010 |

| 14 |  |  | Applying the patch | 
| 15 |  |  | ------------------ | 
| 16 |  |  |  | 
| 17 |  |  | There is one patch included in this package: | 
| 18 |  |  | usb-neodio.diff                 For any 2.4 kernel | 
| 19 |  |  |  | 
| 20 |  |  | Now go to the kernel base directory (often called /usr/src/linux) and issue | 
| 21 |  |  | the following command: | 
| 22 |  |  | patch -p1 -E < PATCHFILE | 
| 23 |  |  | If you want to see what will happen without applying the patch, try: | 
| 24 |  |  | patch -p1 -E --dry-run < PATCHFILE | 
| 25 |  |  | You may get a few messages about offsets; this is normal. But no fuzzy matches | 
| 26 |  |  | should be reported, and certainly no rejects. | 
| 27 |  |  |  | 
| 28 |  |  | After this compile your kernel as usual. | 
| 29 |  |  |  | 
| 30 |  |  |  | 
| 31 |  |  | Debian users | 
| 32 |  |  | ------------ | 
| 33 |  |  |  | 
| 34 |  |  | There is also a Debian version of this package. If you install it, and compile | 
| 35 |  |  | your kernel "the Debian way", the right patch will be applied automatically. | 
| 36 |  |  | Get it at the same place as this package (see Contact). |
