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. |

The Neodio Card read/writer is also branded as Lead Data. The USB ids: |
11 |
Vendor Id: 0aec |
12 |
Product Id: 5010 |

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). |
