sourceforge.org is mirrored at sunsite.unc.edu (and all sunsite mirror sites) in

/pub/Linux/kernel/pcmcia.

If you do not feel up to compiling the drivers from scratch, pre−compiled drivers are included with current

releases of most of the major Linux distributions, including Slackware, Debian, Red Hat, Caldera, SuSE, and

Yggdrasil, among others.

1.4 What systems are supported?

This package should run on almost Intel−based Linux−capable laptop. It also runs on Alpha−based platforms

(i.e., the DEC Multia). Work is being done to make the package fully dual−endian, so that it will also support

PowerPC−based platforms (i.e., Apple Powerbooks). Most common socket controllers are supported. Card

docks for desktop systems should work as long as they use a supported controller, and are plugged directly

into the ISA or PCI bus, as opposed to SCSI−to−PCMCIA or IDE−to−PCMCIA adapters. The following

controllers are recognized by the supplied socket drivers:

• Cirrus Logic PD6710, PD6720, PD6722, PD6729, PD6730, PD6732, PD6832

• Intel i82365sl B, C, and DF steps, 82092AA

• O2Micro OZ6729, OZ6730, OZ6832, OZ6833, OZ6836, OZ6860, OZ6812

• Omega Micro 82C365G, 82C092G

• Ricoh RF5C296, RF5C396, RL5C465, RL5C466, RL5C475, RL5C476, RL5C478

• SMC 34C90

• Texas Instruments PCI1130, PCI1131, PCI1210, PCI1220, PCI1221, PCI1225, PCI1250A,

PCI1251A, PCI1251B, PCI1450

• Toshiba ToPIC95, ToPIC97 (experimental, incomplete)

• Vadem VG465, VG468, VG469

• VLSI Technologies 82C146, VCF94365

• VIA VT83C469

• Databook DB86082, DB86082A, DB86084, DB86084A, DB86072, DB86082B

Other controllers that are register compatible with the Intel i82365sl will generally work, as well.

Support for 32−bit CardBus cards is still somewhat experimental. Drivers prior to version 3.0 only support

16−bit cards in CardBus sockets. Due to the rapid pace of technological change for laptop hardware, new

controllers appear frequently, and there may be delays between when a new model appears on the market,

and when driver support becomes available.

Toshiba has made available some documentation for their ToPIC95 and ToPIC97 chipsets, however the

information they have provided has not really been adequate. Despite conflicting reports to the contrary,

Toshiba has not made any effective effort to remedy this situation. There are serious bugs in Linux support

for the ToPIC chipsets, that cannot be resolved until better documentation or help from Toshiba becomes

available. I do not recommend use of Toshiba laptops at this time. For use of 16−bit cards, I recommend

setting the bridge mode to ``PCIC'' in the BIOS setup; for CardBus cards, you are on your own.

The Motorola 6AHC05GA controller used in some Hyundai laptops is not supported. The custom host

controller in the HP Omnibook 600 is also unsupported.
