Hi, i bought a new noname (Synergy-21 S21811 10/100) PCMCIA Network adapter, so i'm not sure if has a RealTek (the importer said so. ?). I looked up the MAC manufacturer ID (00 48 54 ...) and found an entry for a 21143 Tupip card, but the tulip drivers dont work. The PCMCIA driver also returns a "0xffff, 0c1090" as manf_id, is that normal (0xffff) ?? My last in info is now that it should be an card produced RealTek. May someone help me ?? Gregor Suhr

I'd go ahead and try it out Re: Unidentified PCMCIA Card (mayby Realtek) (Gregor Suhr) Date: 2000, Jul 06 From: David Hinds <dhinds@pcmcia.sourceforge.org>

Just edit /etc/pcmcia/config, and create a new entry for the card, like one of the other tulip_cb entries, but using those manf id values, and see what happens. The 0xffff is bogus so you might want to use the product info strings instead, to be a little safer. -- Dave
