How do you buy a PCMCIA network card?

Our QNX sales representative could not help me.

All the support information on the QNX site
is referenced by chipset.

Network card manufactures have not been
able to support me by chipset.

Mario you must think real little about QNX sales reps to assume they did not
give out that URL, lol :wink:
What he’s asking is model number of a supported currently manufactured
PCMCIA device. The HCL mentions only chipsets, but not many manufacturers
put chipset name on the box… Worse yet, they use term ‘PC-Card’
indiscriminately these days for both PCMCIA and CardBus. Only CardBus
variety was supported by RTP last time I checked.

Thankyou Igor,

At least somebody understands my problem.
I just wish that somebody at QNX would publish
a procedure on how to buy a network PCMCIA
card.
I understand there problems. The PCMCIA
card manufacture could change the chipset without
changing the model number, but I still need a
procedure on how to buy a network card.

I just looked at the web page I gave earlier and found the following MODEL:

DLINK: DE650/660
CNET: PowerNIC CN40BC
3com: CC10BT/CC10B2 , 3C/589C/589D
Linksys: EC2T
Maxtech: PCN2000

Don’t let yourself be confuse by the word “CHIPSET”. These are actual
PCMCIA card model number.

The other problem with device model numbers is that last weeks model XYZ
might have different parts in it than this weeks model XYZ, with NO
conspicuous indication of the difference.

Two thoughts here.

  1. Take your laptop to the store. Plug in the device. If you can make it
    work buy it. (Even so, see #2 below)

  2. Only buy from stores with a no questions asked return policy.

This is why I think QNX should publish
instructions on how to buy a network card.

I am not fond of the Trial and Error
instruction list.
