Date: 14 Apr 1996 03:45:46 -0500 Organization: FreeBSD Project Lines: 191 Sender: daemon@taronga.com Approved: peter@taronga.com Message-ID: <4kqdvq$hoc@bonkers.taronga.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: localhost.taronga.com X-Mailer: mnews [version 1.18PL3] 1994-08/01(Mon) We release new version of the PC-card (PCMCIA) package for FreeBSD. You can get this package from: ftp://bash.cc.keio.ac.jp/pub/os/FreeBSD/alpha-test/pccard/pccard-test-960414.tar.gz Important Notice: This is the last release that supports FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE (we have no resources and time for maintain and test the 2.1.0-RELEASE based sources). If you want to use the future version of this package, please move to 2.2-SNAP. Even in this package, there are some problems that is fixed for 2.2-SNAP, but not fixed for 2.1.0-RELEASE (kernel upgrade patch from 960328 for 2.1.0-RELEASE is only 19KB, but 55KB for 2.2-SNAP). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Current Status ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Type Card Status Driver ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethernet 3Com Etherlink III 3C589 OK nep 3Com Etherlink III 3C589B OK nep 3Com Etherlink III 3C589C OK nep Accton EN2212 OK ed Contec C-NET(PC)C OK fe Dayna Communications CommuniCard E OK ed Eiger Labs EPX-ET10T2 Combo OK ed Farallon EtherMac OK nep Fujitsu FMV-J181 OK fe Fujitsu FMV-J182 OK fe Fujitsu FMV-J182A OK fe GVC NIC-2000P Ethernet Card OK ed Hitachi HT-4840-11 OK fe IC-card Ethernet OK ed IBM Creditcard Ethernet I OK ed IBM Creditcard Ethernet II OK ed Megahertz Ethernet Adapter OK sn Megahertz X-Jack Ethernet OK sn Melco LPC-T OK ed NextCom J Link NC5310 OK fe PLANET Smart Com 2000 OK ed PLANET Smart Com 3500 OK ed RATOC REX-9821 OK fe TDK LAK-CD021 OK fe TDK LAK-CD021A OK fe FAX/Modem Virtually all modem card should work sio *2 (but it still does not work on some machines...)

And, ATAPI CDROM is supported by 2.2-SNAP only. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- These are most of supported Ethernet cards of Linux PCMCIA package and the cards whose chipset is supported by current FreeBSD PC-Card package. I think that most of these cards should work and I've already written configurations for some of them in /etc/pccard.conf in this package, but they are not tested. If you have (or your friend has :-)) these cards, please test them and e-mail me (hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp) the result WHETHER THEY WORK OR NOT!!! If you can't use these card with this package, send me the following data. 1. Name of the card 2. Name of the chipset the card uses (if you can know that) 3. The result of "pccardc dumpcis" (kill pccardd before testing) 4. The result of "pccardc rdattr 0 0 10000" (if you inserted card into second slot, it's "pccardc rdattr 1 0 10000") 5. Your /etc/pccard.conf Please put "[pccard-test]" on the head of the "Subject:" to pick it up easily. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Type Card Status Driver ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethernet Accton EN2216 EtherCard ? ed Allied Telesis Ethernet Card ? ed AST 1082 Ethernet ? ed CNet CN30BC Ethernet Card ? ed CNet CN40BC Ethernet Card ? ed DataTrek NetCard ? ed Digital DEPCM-BA Ethernet ? ed D-Link DE-650 Ethernet Card ? ed Edimax Ethernet Combo ? ed EFA InfoExpress SPT EFA 205 10baseT ? ed EP-210 Ethernet Card ? ed Epson EEN10B Ethernet Card ? ed Farallon Etherwave ? ed Genius ME3000II Ethernet ? ed Grey Cell GCS2220 Ethernet Card ? ed Hitachi HT-4840-10 ? fe Hypertec HyperEnet ? ed Infotel IN650ct Ethernet ? ed National Semiconductor InfoMover 4100 ? ed Katron PE-520 Ethernet Card ? ed Kingston KNE-PCM/x Ethernet ? ed LANEED Ethernet ? ed Linksys Ethernet Card ? ed Maxtech PCN2000 Ethernet ? ed NDC Instant-Link ? ed Network General "Sniffer" ? ed RATOC REX-5585 Ethernet ? fe RATOC REX-5588 Ethernet ? fe PreMax PE-200 Ethernet Card ? ed Proteon Ethernet ? ed RPTI EP400 Ethernet Card ? ed SCM Ethernet Combo ? ed Thomas-Conrad Ethernet ? ed Trust Ethernet Combo ? ed Volktek Ethernet ? ed ----------------------------------------------------------------------- These cards work, but they have serious problems ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Type Card Status Driver ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ethernet Socket EA LAN Adapter NG ed (Broken CIS and broken DMA status register, it hangs up on heavy traffic) -----------------------------------------------------------------------
