A good report for a change :-)

[Arno Griffioen]

I just thought this might be interesting to people reading this
list..

I just got my new SONY VAIO 818 laptop (300 Mhz P-II, 64 Mb) and
decided to go with a 3c575 cardbus 10/100 ethernet card.

I got the latest PCMCIA package and it works like a dream!

The PCMCIA/Cardbus chipset is supported properly:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Linux PCMCIA Card Services 3.0.7
  kernel build: 2.0.36 #1 Mon Jan 25 14:04:53 CET 1999
  options:  [pci] [cardbus] [apm]
Intel PCIC probe: 
  Ricoh RL5C478 PCI-to-CardBus at bus 0 slot 10, mem 0x68000000, 2 sockets
    host opts [0]: [isa irq] [io 3/6/1] [mem 3/6/1] [no pci irq] [lat 168/176] [
bus 32/34]
    host opts [1]: [isa irq] [io 3/6/1] [mem 3/6/1] [no pci irq] [lat 168/176] [
bus 35/37]
    ISA irqs (default) = 3,4,5,7,9,10,11,12 polling interval = 1000 ms
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And the 3c575 (with 0.99H release) works fine as well. Haven't tried
100 Mbit yet though..

  8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, MII interface.
  MII transceiver found at address 0, status 7809.
  Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Repeatedly removing and inserting the card sometimes breaks down,
but I guess that's just because of the experimental nature of
CardBus support in the PCMCIA package which breaks down somewhere.

Just lettin 'yall know..
