More information RE PCMCIA cards...

[Miller, Oscar MILLERO]

You might try the RedHat supported hardware site.
http://www.redhat.com/support/hardware/

They have a pretty good list of what is supported or where to find other
documentation.

Subject: More information RE PCMCIA cards...

I found this link that listed support for PCMCIA cards under Linux:

http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/SUPPORTED.CARDS

Under that link, here's one of the things I found:

.
.
.
Fast Ethernet (10/100baseT) adapters:
.
.
.

[pcnet_cs driver] [x86,ppc,axp]
.
.
.
Linksys PCMPC100 EtherFast	[ NOT the v3 cards! ]
Linksys PCM100H1 HomeLink 10/100
Linksys NP100 Network Everywhere [ NOT the v2 ones! ]
Logitec LPM-LN100TX
Melco LPC2-TX
.
.
.

Naturally, it turned out that I got the v3 EtherFast card by Linksys. <sigh>

However, I printed out the list, and it's now going with me on my next
browsing/shopping trip, so as someone once said, "If life hands you lemons,
make lemonade. However, if life hands you limes, then sorry, but you're
hosed!"

If this has already been done to death in earlier postings, I apologize, but
I thought I'd offer a "lime alert" for any new buyers.

I'll also take this opportunity to inform people that if you try calling
Linksys for technical support, their first reaction on finding out that
you're running Linux is to say "Sorry, we don't support Linux," and to try
to hang up.

Of course, I may also be over-reacting based on my frustration level, so if
I sound annoyed, outraged, and/or ticked off, please forgive me. <smile>
Meanwhile, I'll keep on plugging away at the issue... much like my fellow
Linux geeks on this list.
