RE: PCMCIA LAN card problem

[Scott Stone <SStone@example.com>]

doesn't surprise me if it's some no-name garbage brand, or worse yet, a
brand sold only in Japan that the kernel developers have probably never
heard of.  It's probably a cost-cut fabrication that has a bunch of
workarounds in its windows driver, but violates standards and as such the
standard linux drivers wont deal with it.

Just a suspicion.  Have him borrow a 3com or some other known-good type of
PCMCIA ethernet card and try that, just to make sure it's the card and not
his notebook's PCMCIA controller, which could also be the problem.

Subject: PCMCIA LAN card problem


a friend of mine has a pcmcia ethernet card in his notebook(Cy`QV or
something like that). with windoze the card works fine, but with linux the
fastest he can get out of it is around 8K per sec. he is using the pcnet_cs
module for it. the problem persists with kernels 2.2.14-19 and 2.4.0-3. any
idea how to get it to work?
