To use any of the PCMCIA cards, Pcmcia.generic must be running.
This section describes some pcmcia cards that we have tested.



                            PCMCIA Modem Cards 

                   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
                   manufacturer:  Intel

                   MODEM 2400:  

                   Many modem manufacturers simply copied the CIS from the original Intel
                   PCMCIA modem, thus this entry may correspond to several different modems.
                   Including the USR WorldPort 14400 Fax/Data Modem (the one we have).

                   CC10/XJ10 Ethernet Card:  Works with Net.ether9000 ethernet driver
                   * must specify LAN address on command line.

                   --------------------------------------------------------------------------
                   manufacturer: D-Link
         
                   D-Link DE-650/660 NE2000 Ethernet Card:  ethernet (NE2000) works with
                   Net.ether1000

                   *** Note ***
                   There appears to be an incompatibility with the D-Link card and cirrus
                   pcmcia chipsets that causes corruption of data and hence CRC errors.
