Linux PCMCIA Supported Device List Last updated: 1998/08/20 23:01:39 The following cards are known to work in at least one actual system. Other cards may also work -- if you can get a card to work that is not on this list, please let me know. This list is complete to the best of my knowledge. -- David Hinds Ethernet cards: [3c589_cs driver] 3Com 3c589, 3c589B, 3c589C, 3c589D Farallon EtherWave, EtherMac [fmvj18x_cs driver] CONTEC C-NET(PC)C Eagle NE200 Ethernet Eiger Labs EPX-10BT, EPX-ET 10BT Fujitsu FMV-J181, FMV-J182, FMV-J182A, Towa LA501 Hitachi HT-4840-11 EtherCard NextCom NC5310 RATOC REX-9822, REX-5588A/W TDK LAC-CD02x, LAK-CD021, LAK-CD022A, LAK-CD021AX Ethernet [nmclan_cs driver] New Media EthernetLAN New Media LiveWire [ NOT the LiveWire+ ] [pcnet_cs driver] Accton EN2212, EN2216 EtherCard Addtron Ethernet Allied Telesis CentreCOM CE6001, LA-PCM AmbiCom AMB8002 Apollo RE450CT Asante FriendlyNet AST 1082 Ethernet Billionton LNT-10TB California Access LAN Adapter CeLAN EPCMCIA CNet CN30BC, CN40BC Ethernet Compex/ReadyLINK Ethernet Combo Compex LinkPort Ethernet Connectware LANdingGear Adapter Danpex EN-6200P2 Ethernet Datatrek NetCard Dayna Communications CommuniCard E Digital DEPCM-AA, PCP78-AC Ethernet Digital EtherWORKS Turbo Ethernet D-Link DE-650, DE-660 DynaLink L10C Ethernet Edimax Technology Ethernet Combo EFA InfoExpress 205, 207 Combo Eiger Labs EPX-ET10T2 Combo ELECOM Laneed LD-CDWA, LD-CDX, LD-CDNIA, LD-CDY EP-210 Ethernet Epson Ethernet EtherPRIME Ethernet Explorer NE-10000 Ethernet EZLink 4109 Ethernet Fiberline FL-4680 Gateway 2000 Ethernet Genius ME3000II Ethernet Grey Cell Ethernet GVC NIC-2000P Ethernet Combo Hypertec HyperEnet IBM CreditCard Ethernet Adapter IC-Card Ethernet Infotel IN650ct Ethernet I-O Data PCLA/T Katron PE-520 Ethernet KingMax Technology EN10-T2 Ethernet Kingston KNE-PCM/M, KNE-PC2 KTI PE-520 Plus LANEED Ethernet LanPro EP4000A Lantech Ethernet Linksys EtherCard Logitec LPM-LN10T, LPM-LN10BA Ethernet Longshine ShineNet LCS-8534TB Ethernet Macnica ME-1 Ethernet Maxtech PCN2000 Ethernet Melco LPC-TJ, LPC-TS Micronet EtherFast Adapter NDC Instant-Link Network General "Sniffer" Novell/National NE4100 InfoMover OvisLink Ethernet Panasonic CF-VEL211P-B Planet SmartCOM 2000, 3500 Pretec Ethernet PreMax PE-200 Ethernet Proteon Ethernet Relia RE2408T Ethernet Reliasys 2400A Ethernet RPTI EP400, EP401 Ethernet SCM Ethernet [ Yes, SCM != SMC ] Sky Link Express Socket Communications Socket EA LAN Adapter SuperSocket RE450T Surecom Ethernet SVEC PN605C Thomas-Conrad Ethernet Trust Ethernet Combo Volktek NPL-402CT Ethernet [smc91c92_cs driver] Megahertz XJ10BT, XJ10BC, CC10BT Ethernet New Media BASICS Ethernet Ositech Four of Diamonds SMC 8020BT EtherEZ [ NOT the EliteCard! ] [xirc2ps_cs driver] Compaq Ethernet Adapter Xircom CreditCard CE2 Fast Ethernet (10/100baseT) adapters: [3c574_cs driver: driver is buggy] 3Com 3c574TX [3c575_cb driver: driver has performance problem] 3Com 3c575TX CardBus [pcnet_cs driver] D-Link DFE-650 Linksys EtherFast 10/100 NetGear FA410TXC [xirc2ps_cs driver] Compaq Netelligent 10/100 Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 Xircom CreditCard CE3 Token-ring adapters: [ Requires a 1.3.72 or later kernel ] [ibmtr_cs driver] 3Com 3c389 TokenLink Velocity 3Com 3c689 TokenLink III IBM Token Ring Adapter Wireless network adapters: [wavelan_cs driver] AT&T GIS / NCR WaveLAN version 2.0 DEC RoamAbout/DS [netwave_cs driver] Xircom CreditCard Netwave Modem and serial cards: [ Virtually all modem cards, simple serial port cards, and digital cellular modems should work. The only known exceptions are the Compaq 192, the New Media WinSurfer, the Megahertz XJ/EM2560, and other so-called "WinModems" that require special Windows drivers. ISDN modems that emulate a standard UART are also supported. ] Advantech COMpad-32/85 dual serial Omega Engineering QSP-100 Quatech, IOTech dual RS-232 cards Quatech quad RS-232 card Socket Communications dual RS-232 card Trimble Mobile GPS Memory cards: [ All SRAM cards should work.

Many vendors. particularly CD-ROM vendors, seem to switch controller chips more or less at will. Generally, they'll use a different product code, but not always: older (supported) New Media Bus Toaster cards are not easily distinguishable from the current Symbios-based cards, which use the contributed 53c500 driver, distributed separately. ] [aha152x_cs driver] Adaptec APA-1460, APA-1450A, APA-1460A, APA-1460B SlimSCSI Iomega Zip and Jaz Cards New Media Bus Toaster SCSI [ older cards ] New Media Toast 'n Jam [ SCSI only ] Noteworthy Bus Toaster SCSI Sony CD-ROM Discman PRD-250 [fdomain_cs driver] Future Domain SCSI2GO IBM SCSI Simple Technologies SCSI [qlogic_cs driver] Eiger Labs SCSI MACNICA mPS110, mPS110-LP SCSI NEC PC-9801N-J03R Qlogic FastSCSI Panasonic KXL-D740, KXL-DN740A, KXL-DN740A-NB 4X CD-ROM Raven CD-Note 4X RATOC REX-9530 SCSI-2 Toshiba NWB0107ABK, SCSC200B [apa1480_cb driver -- requires a 2.1.90 or later kernel, and is also experimental!!!] Adaptec SlimSCSI 1480 CardBus [not sure which driver] Digital SCSI II adapter IO-DATA PCSC-II, PCSC-II-L IO-DATA CDG-PX44/PCSC CD-ROM Logitec LPM-SCSI2 Logitec LCD-601 CD-ROM Melco IFC-SC2, IFC-DC Pioneer PCP-PR1W CD-ROM Taxan ICD-400PN ATA/IDE CD-ROM adapters: [ Supported for 1.3.72 and later kernels ] Argosy EIDE CD-ROM Caravelle CD-36N Creative Technology CD-ROM Digital Mobile Media CD-ROM EXP CD940 CD-ROM [ Some work, some do NOT! ] EXP Traveler 620 CD-ROM H45 Technologies Quick 2X CD-ROM H45 Technologies QuickCD 16X IO-DATA CDP-TX4/PCIDE, CDP-TX6/PCIDE, CDV-HDN6/PCIDE IO-DATA CDP-TX10/PCIDE, MOP-230/PCIDE TEAC IDE Card/II Multifunction cards: [ Fully supported for 1.3.73 and later kernels ] [3c589_cs driver] 3Com 3c562, 3c562B/C/D, 3c563B/C/D 3Com 3CCEM556, 3CXEM556 [ NOT the 3CFEM556 ] Motorola Marquis [pcnet_cs driver] D-Link DME336T Grey Cell GCS3400 IBM Home and Away IBM Home and Away 28.8 Linksys LANmodem 28.8, 33.6 [smc91c92_cs driver] Gateway Telepath Combo Megahertz/U.S. Robotics EM1144, EM3288, EM3336 Motorola Mariner Ositech Jack of Diamonds [xirc2ps_cs driver] Xircom CreditCard CEM28, CEM33, CEM56 ATA/IDE card drives: Supported for 1.3.72 and later kernels. Both Flash-ATA cards and rotating-media cards are supported. The very old Western Digital 40MB drives are not supported, because they do not conform to the PCMCIA ATA specification. Note that ATA/IDE CD-ROM drives are listed explicitly in a separate section, because they seem to have more than their share of compatibility issues, and some do not work. The following cards have contributed drivers which are distributed as separate packages: [iscc_cs driver] IBM Smart Capture (Koji Okamura ) [cs89x0_cs driver] IBM EtherJet (Danilo Beuche ) [elsa_cs driver] Elsa MicroLink ISDN adapter (Klaus Lichtenwalder ) [mpsuni_cs driver] MPS ISLINEnote ISDN adapter (Detlef Glaschick ) [sedl_cs driver] Sedlbauer Speed Star ISDN adapter (Marcus Niemann ) [teles_cs driver] Teles ISDN adapter (Christof Petig ) [sym53c500_cs driver] New Media Bus Toaster SCSI [ new version ] New Media BASICS SCSI (Tim Corner ) GemPlus GPR400 Smart Card Reader http://www.linuxnet.com/smartcard/code.html (Wolf Geldmacher ) People are working on the following cards: Nat'l Inst DAQCard (Erick Gonzalez ) Roland SCP-55 MIDI (Toshiaki Nakatsu ) CyberRom CD-ROM (David Rowntree ) IO Data PCSC-II (Katayama Nobuhiro ) Macnica mPS-1x0 (Katayama Nobuhiro ) Harris PRISM/AM79C930 (Mark Mathews ) The following cards are NOT supported. This list is not meant to be comprehensive: I list these cards because people frequently ask about them. In general, there are no technical reasons why a card is not supported: simply put, as far as I know, no one is working on these cards, therefore, drivers will not be written.

It could be inferred that since these vendors support Linux development and have provided technical help, that their cards are likely to be better supported under Linux. 3Com/Megahertz [ ethernet, modem, and multifunction cards ] Intel [ linear flash memory cards ] Linksys [ ethernet and multifunction cards ] Ositech [ ethernet/modem combo cards ] Sandisk [ ata/ide flash cards ]
