Thanks for the reply.  So it sounds like if you got it working in 2.4.25, 
there's probably better support in the current kernel.  How much work did 
you have to do?  You say 'little modifications'.  Was it a few hours, 
days, or weeks?  Based on what I've found so far (and my admittedly naive 
understanding of pcmcia and the kernel), it looks like this should almost 
be plug and play.  Turn on the the yenta pcmcia driver and tell it to look 
for TI parts.  The TI1520 is alredy listed in pci_ids.h so it may be that 
it'll just work.  We're just looking for a warm fuzzy before we commit to 
this part since we're getting no help from TI on it.  And if we can't find 
a warm fuzzy will look at something else.  Thanks again.

Take care and stay safe.
