Hi there,
I use a Global Village PowerPort PLatinum Pro combo card in MacOS. I
haven't verified, but I don't think that card is usable under Linux.
However, I have a D-link 16-bit 10/100 card (Model DFE-650) that is
supported under PPC according to the list of supported cards at
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/SUPPORTED.CARDS
However, I can't seem to get it to work. Admittedly, I have never tried
anything with PCMCIA under Linux before, so I have no idea what I am
doing.
Using 'cardctl status'I get the following:
Socket 0:
3.3V 16-bit PC Card
function 0: [ready]
Socket 1
5V 16-bit PC Card
function 0: [ready], [wp]
Then, if I issue a 'cardctl config' command:
Socket 0:
Vcc 3.3V Vpp1 3.3V Vpp2 3.3V
Socket 1:
Vcc 5.0V Vpp1 5.0V Vpp2 5.0V
The Card in socket 1 is the D-Link DFE-650 Network card, while the card
in Socket 0 is a PCMCIA Compact Flash card that I would also like to get
working.
The 'cardinfo' program is not installed on this system, but I found a
replacement on FreshMeat. I have no easy way to transfer it from my
other computer without a network card.
Any ideas? My config is as follows:
PowerBook 2400c/180 (original 603ev, not a G3)
80MB RAM, Running YDL 2.2 and the 2.4 kernel included with the distro.
One note: PCMCIA doesn't seem to load under the 2.2 kernel, but pmud
fails at boot time under the 2.4 kernel
Also, is there a way to eject PCMCIA cards without resorting to a
paperclip? The eject buttons on the 2400 don' work.
Thank You,
Tom
