Question: CardBus and Product Info 

Forum: PCMCIA Network Adapter Issues
Date: 2000, Mar 01
From: Sergio Talens-Oliag sto

I've seen in a message from David Hinds that the CardBus cards that do not provide product info are not supported under linux. I have a Dynalink L100C32-2 and I know of other cards with the same problem (Argosy 10/100 EN-235, Conceptronics CON100TC). The questions are: Does anyone knows what changes are needed to make the pcmcia package work with this kind of cards? Is there any documentation I can read to try to add support for them? Thanks in advance,     Sergio

The Dynalink card does have product info; there was a PCMCIA driver bug that prevented it from being used properly. This is fixed in the current beta for 3.1.12. The card still doesn't work, because the current tulip driver isn't able to configure it correctly. That's a more serious issue and I don't know how to fix that. As for the other cards you mention, I don't know anything about them, so I don't know if the same 3.1.12 fix will apply to them or not. I also can't guess if, independent of the product info, these cards are likely to work under Linux anyway. -- Dave
