Subject: [9fans] PCMCIA Ethernet
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 02:51:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <091720080251.23693.48D0709B000CB0A000005C8D22230647029B0A02D2089B9A019C04040A0DBF9B9D0E9A9B9C040D@att.net> (raw)

Is anyone currently successfully using a pcmcia
ethernet card?  The last time I tried to do this,
I came to the conclusion that I would need to
sacrifice a chicken to get it to work, and I
ended up moving on to something else.  But I'm
back to trying this.  I've tried with several
versions of the 3c589 and an old linksys.  On
all these, aux/pcmcia reports the right thing,
but trying to bind #l reports no free devices.
Is there some magic incantation to make it
work.  It doesn't seem to matter whether I
put an entry in plan9.ini.  Ultimately, I want
to get a 3c575 working, but neither of the ones
I have lying around are recognized by aux/pcmcia,
so I figured it'd be better to start with something
a little more boring.

Of course, if someone has a hidden broadcom
driver lying around, that would obviate the
need for the pcmcia card...:-)

Thanks,
BLS
