CardBus are PCMCIA 5.0 or later (JEIDA 4.2 or later) 32-bit PCMCIA devices, introduced in 1995 and present in laptops from late 1997 onward. CardBus is effectively a 32-bit, 33 MHz PCI bus in the PC Card form factor. CardBus includes bus mastering, which allows a controller on the bus to talk to other devices or memory without going through the.

The disk contains the following network card drivers:

*1 - Not sure if this driver works.
*2 - Use when booting the disk via a PXE remote boot image
*3 - This works for some motherboards (eg ASUS A7N-266), but not for others.
*4 - Also works for some D-LINK 530 cards
*5 - Not the original driver's filename!

Important Notes
1. Only the popular PCI Cards are autodetected! However there is some less popular PCI cards on the disk which aren't autodetected. (If you know the card's PnP Vendor/Device ID's, please email me :)
2. ALL ISA and PC Cards have to be manaually selected. These can't be auto-detected.

Unlisted / Generic Chipsets

You'll find many other network cards will work too, providing they are based on the same chipset as one of the included drivers. This is very common for many cheaper network cards!

If a network card does not autodetect, then it's a good idea to look on the network card itself to see what type of chipset it uses. Then upon booting the disk, manually select which driver to load.

Confusing Card Names = Which driver???

Some network cards uunfortunately have the same name or very similar names, yet use a totally different driver. This sometimes adds a lot of confusion to the process of selecting the right driver. (not to mention putting the correct driver on the disk in the first place!

Examples of these types of cards are:

• Linksys LNE100TX with about 5 different sub versions all with different drivers
• D-Link 530 vs D-Link 530+ (note: plus vs no-plus)
• Xircom Cards

What are the best cards to use?

If you have a choice of what card to use with the disk, I'd recommend choosing a card that uses a unversial driver for every card that uses that chipset.

For Example:

• Intel Pro 100/1000 series
• Realtek Cards
• Broadcom B44,B57
• 3COM 905 series PCI Cards

Of course this still relies on the fact the the bootdisk needs the latest driver, so the latest cards released will still work.

Still Not Working?

Some of the more uncommon cards/drivers have not been fully tested yet. While all these drivers should work, I don't have access to every card myself for testing.
