This is a quick one, so I apologize for not using the classifieds [1]. I have bought last week a CardBus wireless card for my laptop (DWL-650) based on many reports on the internet including [2]. I have struggled in vain about a week to get it working with my Toshiba 2805 laptop to no result. What was really interesting is that when connected, the card showed up with lspci, but cardctl ident would answer with MANIFID 0000. I have found an article on the web [3] that said the CardBus controller in the newer Toshiba laptops (ToPIC100) is not completely supported by linux (either kernel proper or pcmcia-cs) but luckyly it can be asked to emulate an Intel PCIC 16 bit PCMCIA controller. Obviously that works only with 16 bit card. Sure enough, pluggin in of a Netgear MA401 produced a nice two tone chime and connected my laptop to the network. /me hopes this to be enough Linux/hardware content to get pass the spam/lameness bayesian filters <g> Now I have to return my 32 bit CardBus card to Amazon.com . However I got it on sale with $30 which is a really good price. If anybody wants it for $30 and is willing to drive to Shoreview/Roseville to pick it up, let me know. Otherwise, I will return it Friday. Cheers, florin 1. http://www.mn-linux.org/cgi-bin/classifieds/classifieds.cgi 2. http://www.linux-wlan.com/linux-wlan/index.html#Compatibility 3.
