*1 Digital RoamAbout/DS is compatible with AT&T GIS WaveLAN, but I've
not received any reports whether AT&T GIS WaveLAN can be used under
our package. Please test it and send me reports.
*2 Some cards or laptops needs modifications to /etc/pccard.conf, and
some combinations of cards and laptops do not work.
*3 But, there are also some reports that US Robotics Modem cards can't
be used with this package.
*4 This CD-ROM has PCIC in it, so it can't be hotplugged. 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.
