| 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: |

| 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). |
