# 27. PCMCIA/Cardbus cards

The following is quoted directly from SUPPORTED.CARDS distributed with David Hinds's PCMCIA package.

Linux PCMCIA Supported Device List
Last updated: 2004/10/27 05:22:16
The following cards are known to work in at least one actual system.
Other cards may also work -- if you can get a card to work that is not
on this list, please let me know. This list is complete to the best
of my knowledge.
CardBus cards are listed towards the end of each section. All 16-bit
PCMCIA drivers have names ending in "_cs". CardBus drivers included
in the pcmcia-cs package have names ending in "_cb"; for the kernel
PCMCIA subsystem, the drivers for these cards are regular PCI drivers.
Beware that some cards have 16-bit and CardBus versions with similar
names, but completely different implementations. If the CardBus
version is not specifically listed as supported here, then you should
not expect it to work.
Next to each driver, I've tried to indicate which system architectures
(x86,ppc,axp) are known to be supported. This information is likely
to be incomplete, and additions/corrections would be very welcome.

Modem and serial cards:
[ Virtually all modem cards, simple serial port cards, and

so-called "WinModems" that require special drivers. ISDN
modems that emulate a standard UART are also supported. Some
Winmodem drivers do exist (i.e., the ltmodem driver for Lucent
chipsets). For more information about WinModems, drivers,
etc, see http://start.at/modem, http://www.linmodems.org, or

ATA/IDE card drives:
[ide-cs driver] [x86,ppc,smp]
Most cards should work fine, including adapters for external
IDE devices. Both Flash-ATA cards and rotating-media cards
are supported, including "Smartmedia" flash and Compact flash
cards.
The very old Western Digital 40MB drives are not supported,
because they do not conform to the PCMCIA ATA specification.

The following cards have contributed drivers which are distributed as
separate packages. The drivers are not included in the base PCMCIA
package for maintenance reasons: they are for less common cards and I
cannot test them. Most are available on the Linux PCMCIA FTP site, at
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/pub/pcmcia-cs/contrib; some have
their own web sites.

The following cards are NOT supported. This list is not meant to be
comprehensive: I list these cards because people frequently ask about
them. In general, there are no technical reasons why a card is not
supported: simply put, as far as I know, no one is working on these
cards, therefore, drivers will not be written. Most cards on this
list have been there for a very long time, so please do not send me
email just to ask if their status has changed.

The following vendors have assisted in the development of the Linux
PCMCIA driver package by contributing hardware and/or technical
documentation about their products. It could be inferred that since
these vendors support Linux development and have provided technical
help, that their cards are likely to be better supported under Linux.
3Com/Megahertz [ ethernet and multifunction cards ]
Adaptec [ SCSI adapter cards ]
Intel [ linear flash memory cards ]
Linksys [ ethernet and multifunction cards ]
Ositech [ ethernet/modem combo cards ]
Sandisk [ ATA/IDE flash cards ]
Quatech [ parallel port, data acquisition cards ]
