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 |
|

| 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). |
