           Summary: matchbox-applet-card broken with 2.6 kernel
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: Angstrom 2007.12
          Platform: ARM
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: org.openembedded.stable
        AssignedTo: openembedded-issues at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: yan at seiner.com


The matchbox-applet-card applet segfaults with the 2.6 kernel. This means there
is no convenient (i.e. non-root-login) way to unmount cf and sd cards.

The mb-applet-cards uses an apparently deprecated interface to find inserted
cards.  Here's the culprit:

     char buf[256];
     inf = fopen("/var/lib/pcmcia/stab", "r");
     fgets(buf, 256, inf);
     fclose(inf);

Apparently /var/lib/pcmcia/stab is supposed to have info on the inserted cards.
 Unfortunately it doesn't exist on the zaurus and most likely on other 2.6
devices, so the applet segfaults when it hits that line.

Its probably this information is now stored in files under /sys

I've been disecting pccardctl.c and I can pull the info for cf cards.  A
similar approach can be used to pull info for sd cards.
