Date: 5 May 1996 16:31:05 -0500 Organization: FreeBSD Project Lines: 197 Sender: daemon@taronga.com Approved: peter@taronga.com Message-ID: <4mj6mp$m82@bonkers.taronga.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: localhost.taronga.com X-Mailer: mnews [version 1.18PL3] 1994-08/01(Mon) We release the new PC-card package based on FreeBSD 2.2-960501-SNAP. You can get it from ftp://ryukyu.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/pub/FreeBSD/pccard/pccard-test-960506.tar.gz (Note that we changed the ftp site because bash.cc.keio.ac.jp is unstable these days.)

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 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-5588 Ethernet ? fe RATOC REX-4486 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) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- -- HOSOKAWA, Tatsumi E-mail: hosokawa@mt.cs.keio.ac.jp WWW homepage: http://www.mt.cs.keio.ac.jp/person/hosokawa.html Department of Computer Science, Keio University, Yokohama, Japan
