Re: Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200
Hello,
Don't know if this helps any, but I've just finished getting most of this
stuff working on a Satellite 2800, and Debian will probably have everything
you need already packaged.

If your card's any older than brand new, I'd be willing to be that it will
work fine, provided the PCMCIA support is there. Of course, I can't say for
sure without a model number (FCC lookup perhaps?) I do know that there are
drivers kernel 2.4.4 for 3Com's 574 and 589 NICs.
AFAIK, There are only two kinds of PCMCIA, and both are supported.

http://www.linmodems.org is the home of the Linux-for-winmodems project. A lot
of manufacturers have released drivers for their winmodems, and people have
hacked out others. The site had everything I needed to get my Satellite 2800's
modem up and running.

My 2800, and every other Toshiba laptop I've seen, new and old, is running a
Yamaha sound chipset (the ymfpci kernel driver). I found some specific
information for my sound card from Toshiba's website.
