What is the current status of PC-card support? I've seen ominous signs on
this list about the state of support.... I have a laptop with a PCMCIA
network card (a 3com thing). Will it work?

It should, yes. Enable hotplug, cardbus, and 3com vortex/boomerang
support...

With a few exceptions, it should work. The problematic systems are few.

Hey,
I don't know if this counts as a _problem_,
but I need to enable pci support to get pcmcia/cardbus activated.
Is this really necessary ?? My current kernels work fine without pci
support, and sure, enabling it won't hurt, just make the kernel bigger,
but why is the restriction there ?
Also, what has happened to the i82365 support that I need ?
Its nicely commented out in drivers/net/pcmcia/Config.in
I remember everything working fine up until about test3/4, since then I've
had to revert to the pcmcia-cs package.
Just wondering whats going on ?

You may be in the same boat I'm in then. i82365 is what I used and it worked.
yenta doesn't. Right now I'm stuck with using my USB nic because neither the
kernel's pcmcia or dh pcmcia work for me.

I got the same problem for an old 486 with no PCI, as yenta_socket doesn't work, i
have to add CONFIG_I82365
in order to have things work. 'till this is set and recompiled, everything works
perfectly. The controller is a
VLSI 82C146.
I'm problably missing something, but these's two things i don't understand:
-why PCMCIA depends on PCI at compilation time
-why yenta is activated for i82365, as it doesn't do the job i82365 did.

I've got a Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280xdvd + 3com cardbus 10/100 card. Works
fine with Red Hat 7, and also with 2.2.18pre20 + latest pcmcia-cs tools (X
doesn't work out of the box, I had to grab an X server from somewhere for
the S3 Savage IX the machine has. The builtin Lucent winmodem is hopeless,
BTW: The Lucent drivers just crash the kernel once the call is answered.)
