1.5 What cards are supported?

The current release includes drivers for a variety of ethernet cards, a driver for modem and serial port cards,

several SCSI adapter drivers, a driver for ATA/IDE drive cards, and memory card drivers that should support

most SRAM cards and some flash cards. The SUPPORTED.CARDS file included with each release of Card

Services lists all cards that are known to work in at least one actual system.

The likelihood that a card not on the supported list will work depends on the type of card. Essentially all

modems should work with the supplied driver. Some network cards may work if they are OEM versions of

supported cards. Other types of IO cards (frame buffers, sound cards, etc) will not work until someone writes

the appropriate drivers.

1.6 When will my favorite (unsupported) card become

supported?

Unfortunately, they usually don't pay me to write device drivers, so if you would like to have a driver for

your favorite card, you are probably going to have to do at least some of the work. Ideally, I'd like to work

towards a model like the Linux kernel, where I would be responsible mainly for the ``core'' driver code and

other authors would contribute and maintain client drivers for specific cards. The SUPPORTED.CARDS file

mentions some cards for which driver work is currently in progress. I will try to help where I can, but be

warned that debugging kernel device drivers by email is not particularly effective.

Manufacturers interested in helping provide Linux support for their products can contact me about consulting

arrangements.

1.7 Mailing lists and other information sources

I used to maintain a database and mailing list of Linux PCMCIA users. More recently, I've turned my web

page for Linux PCMCIA information into a ``HyperNews'' site, with a set of message lists for Linux

PCMCIA issues. There are lists for installation and configuration issues, for different types of cards, and for

programming and debugging issues. The Linux PCMCIA information page is at

http://pcmcia.sourceforge.org. Users can request email notification of new responses to particular questions,

or notification for all new messages in a given category. I hope that this will become a useful repository of

information, for questions that go beyond the scope of the HOWTO.

There is a Linux mailing list devoted to laptop issues, the ``linux−laptop'' list. For more information, send a

message containing the word ``help'' to [email protected]. To subscribe, send a message

containing ``subscribe linux−laptop'' to the same address. This mailing list might be a good forum for

discussion of Linux PCMCIA issues.

The Linux Laptop Home Page at http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux−laptop has links to many sites

that have information about configuring specific types of laptops for Linux. There is also a searchable

database of system configuration information.
