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

News: Dynalink L100C32 and Product Info Re: Re: Question: CardBus and Product Info (David Hinds) Date: 2000, Mar 07 From: Sergio Talens-Oliag sto

Last sunday I sent an e-mail to support@dynalink.nl and on monday (this guys are really fast), they sent me a DOS utility to upgrade the CIS (it gives the card a manufacturer id, so cardctl can detect it) and an experimental linux driver (the card uses a realtek 8139 chip, so the driver is the rtl8139.c from Donald Becker, with a patch to detect the IRQ). I've tested it and it works, but only if you have two cards. I did two tests: 1. In my first test I was using another card on slot 0 (a friend's Dynalink L10C) and when i inserted the LC100C32 it worked fine. 2. In the second test, i used only the LC100C32, but it locks the machine. I suppose the problem is in the patch to detect the IRQ, but i think it's easy to fix, if i succed i'll post a message with the patches. Sergio
