Hello Robert, > is there an official fedora HW compatibility database? That probably still needs to be setup. But definitely worth mentioning. > specifically, i was just handed a linksys etherfast 10/100 pcmcia > cardbus card, model PCMPC200, version A2. 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.
