Linux PCMCIA Supported Device List Last updated: 1999/07/30 06:09:07 The following cards are known to work in at least one actual system. Other cards may also work -- if you can get a card to work that is not on this list, please let me know. This list is complete to the best of my knowledge. CardBus cards are listed at the end of each section. At this time, all CardBus drivers should be treated as experimental. Beware that some cards have 16-bit and CardBus versions with very similar names. If the CardBus version is not specifically listed as supported here, then you should not expect it to work. Next to each driver, I've tried to indicate which system architectures (x86,ppc,axp) are known to be supported. This information is likely to be incomplete, and additions/corrections would be very welcome. -- David Hinds Ethernet cards: [3c589_cs driver] [x86,ppc] 3Com 3c589, 3c589B, 3c589C, 3c589D 3Com Megahertz 3CCE589E, 3CXE589D, 3CXE589EC Farallon EtherWave, EtherMac [fmvj18x_cs driver] [x86,ppc] CONTEC C-NET(PC)C Eagle NE200 Ethernet Eiger Labs EPX-10BT, EPX-ET 10BT, EPX-ET 10TZ Fujitsu FMV-J181, FMV-J182A, FMV-J183 Fujitsu Towa LA501, FMV-1080, FM50N-183 Hitachi HT-4840-11 EtherCard NextCom NC5310 RATOC REX-9822, REX-5588A/W, REX-R280 TDK LAC-CD02x, LAK-CD021, LAK-CD022A, LAK-CD021AX, LAK-CD021BX [nmclan_cs driver] [x86] New Media EthernetLAN New Media LiveWire [ NOT the LiveWire+ ] [pcnet_cs driver] [x86,axp] Accton EN2212, EN2216 EtherCard Accton SOHO BASIC EN220 Addtron Ethernet AIBrain EPCM-T Allied Telesis CentreCOM CE6001, LA-PCM, LA-PCM V2 AmbiCom AMB8002, AMB8002T AnyCom ECO Ethernet Apollo RE450CT Argosy EN210 Asante FriendlyNet [ new cards seem to not work!!
