HW compatibiity database?

[Leonard den Ottolander]

Hello Robert,

That probably still needs to be setup. But definitely worth mentioning.

PCMPC100 is mentioned in the Red Hat hardware compatibility list
(http://hardware.redhat.com/hcl/?pagename=details&hid=1215). Also the
PCMPC200 is mentioned in the hwdata lists:

$ grep PCMPC /usr/share/hwdata/*
/usr/share/hwdata/pci.ids:              13d1 ab01  EtherFast 10/100
Cardbus (PCMPC200)

However it is not mentioned in the pcmcia files:

$ grep PCMPC /etc/pcmcia/*
/etc/pcmcia/config:  version "Linksys", "EtherFast 10/100 PC Card
(PCMPC100)"
/etc/pcmcia/config:card "Linksys EtherFast PCMPC100 V3 Fast Ethernet"
/etc/pcmcia/config:  version "Linksys", "EtherFast 10/100 PC Card
(PCMPC100 V3)"

You might want to clone one of these entries and see if that works. Last
time I tried to setup a pcmcia card it worked out of the box, but you
probably do need a correct entry in /etc/pcmcia/config.

Bye,
Leonard.
