Linux Hardware Compatibility HOWTO: Appendix B. Supported PCMCIA cards Next Previous Contents

27. Appendix B. Supported PCMCIA cards

These cards are supported by David Hinds' PCMCIA package and this list is taken from his web page ( http://hyper.stanford.edu/HyperNews/get/pcmcia/home.html).

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.

27.1 Ethernet cards

  • SMC, Megahertz and Ositech cards use the smc91c92_cs driver
  • 3Com and Farallon cards use the 3c589_cs driver
  • Fujitsu, TDK, RATOC, CONTEC, Eagle and Nextcom cards use the fmvj18x_cs driver
All other cards use the pcnet_cs driver. Other NE2000-compatible cards that are not on the list are also likely to work with pcnet_cs.
