Answer to Re: CardBus PC Card: 3c575-TX -- module creation ?

[Lukas Ruf <ruf@tik.ee.ethz.ch>]

Folks,

I answer my question myself:

3c575-TX is supported by the general purpose driver of the Vortex
Series 3c59x by Becker.

Therefore, the changes required to /etc/pcmcia/config are:

device "3c575_cb"
-   class "network" module "cb_enabler", "3c575_cb"
+   class "network" module "cb_enabler", "3c59x"

Then all works perfectly running as 100Mbps as well as 10Mbps.

In case any distribution developer reads this email, why not include
this change in the appropriate file.

Kind regards,

Lukas
PS: In case you change this settings, don't forget to restart cardmgr,
    i.e. /etc/init.d/pcmcia stop and then /etc/init.d/pcmcia start
    -- but of course you already knew this issue anyway, haven't you?
