What if CONFIG_PCMIA=m, and CONFIG_APNE=y?

Fails to build (undefined reference to `pcmcia_parse_tuple').

That's what 'select PCMCIA' was avoiding before, but got vetoed. I can
add a dependency on PCMCIA in the APNE Kconfig entry which does force
APNE the same as what's selected for PCMCIA, but that means we can't
build APNE without PCMCIA anymore. Is there a way to express 'constrain
build type if PCMCIA is enabled, else leave choice to user' ??

#if IS_REACHABLE(CONFIG_PCMIA)

Thanks, I'll use that then.

I think you should reset apne_100_mbit to zero if apne_100_mbit < 0
&& !pcmcia_is_16bit(), so rmmod + switching card + modprobe
has a chance to work.

Good catch - though when switching to another card using this same
driver, the module parameter can be used again to select IO mode or
force autoprobe.

The autoprobe won't work if the new card is 8-bit.

I see now - adding code to set isa_type to 8 bit if the autoprobe fails, and reset isa_type and apne_100_mbit to defaults in module exit and the probe error return path ...

Cheers,

	Michael
