Richard: i would have thought "i did have to clone the smc pccard entry and put in the belkin strings." was clear enough. It's not entirely clear to me if we are for sure talking about the same card, and, in any case, these strings may change as different card revs come and go. here is a snippet from my pccard.conf file. ymmv. -steve # SMC's SMC2632W. card "SMC" "SMC2632W" config auto "wi" ? 0x10000 insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop card "Belkin" "11Mbps Wireless Notebook Network Adapter" config auto "wi" ? 0x10000 insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop On 31 Oct 2002 at 13:32, richard childers wrote: > It would not surprise me to learn that the Belkin card has a chipset that is > already supported, and it just hasn't been added to the pccard.conf. > > Could someone who has a working Belkin PCMCIA card post their entry for use by > others? > > A terse 'It works' doesn't help anyone. > > > -- richard > > nadas@torrentnet.com wrote: > > > hi warner, > > > > hmmm. i can report that the belkin works for me in its pci-pcmcia card in a > > 4.6 stable system. the pcmcia card seemed to behave the same as my other card > > in a laptop, but i lack the necessary infrastructure to actually test that > > setup. i did have to clone the smc pccard entry and put in the belkin strings. > > > > -steve > > > > On 30 Oct 2002 at 21:56, M.
