Linksys pcmcia ethernet

Does anyone know why a pcmcia ethernet card that works in one Dell laptop
wouldn’t work in another one.

I have an older Dell Inspiron laptop that I got a Linksys EC2T ethernet card
working in.
I wanted to put the linksys card into a new Inspiron 2500 laptop, but I
can’t get it to work.

I assume the problem has something to do with the cardbus controller ???

on the older laptop ( Texas Instruments PCI-1225 Cardbus controller)
my pcmcia.2 is
[resources]
memory = 0xd4000-0xd5fff
ports = 0x320-0x33f
rports = 0x2e8+8, 0x3e8+8, 0x170+8, 0x376+2
irqs = 5,7,11,12

and my pcmcia.cards is
[device]
manufacturer = “Linksys”
product = “Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard (EC2T)”
info1 = “2.0”
regbase = 0xfd0
config = 0x01, 0x0601, irq 7, io 0x320-0x33f
register = 0, 0x40, 0x40 ; level mode interrupts

Hi Glenn,

I just checked the source code for this in our repository. Support for
this chipset was just added into the QNX6 version of the PCCARD. We
are currently looking into support for the 6933 for QNX4, however at this
time the only cardbus controllers we support for QNX4 right now are Texas
Instruments.

Take care.

Erick.

Erick,

Could you tell me if either of these controller is supported.

Texas Instruments PCI 4450/4451 CardBus controller

thanks,

Hi Glenn,

In QNX 6.1.0A we have support for the 1420 and the 4450/4451 TI chipsets.

Take care.

What about QNX 4.25?

specifically the
Texas Instruments PCI 1420 CardBus controller

I did a search through google groups and there seemed
to be people using the TI 1420 with qnx 4.25, but all
of the problems were “resolved via email”

Hi Glenn,

They probably got an updated Pcmcia.generic, I can
send you a beta to try out and see if that helps you if
you would like.
