Hawking Fast Ethernet Cardbus 10/100 Woody ?
I've got a Cardbus 10/100 NIC from Hawking.
# cardctl ident
Socket 0:
product info: "3Com", "Megahertz 3CCFEM556", "LAN + 56k Modem", ""
manfid: 0x0101, 0x0556
function: 0 (multifunction)
Socket 1:
product info: "CardBus", "Fast Ethernet", "V1.0", ""
manfid: 0x13d1, 0xab02
function: 6 (network)
Woody's Card Services doesn't recognize it.

I'm having trouble finding the right documentation on how to
get this going. Don't know which chip set is in the card.
Don't know where the manufacturer and product IDs are defined
for Card Services. Seems to be a very popular product, perhaps
under another name. Google doesn't help because Hawking
doesn't have any model identification on the thing.
In fact, the markings on it are contradictory: it says
"CardBus 10/100 Fast Ethernet PC Card" on the front
and "Fast Ethernet CardBus 10/100" on the back.
(The correct terminology is "PC Card" is the ISA-like
interface, Cardbus is the PCI-like interface, and both
are standards from an organization named PCMCIA. It
doesn't make much sense for a product to say both
"PC Card" and "Cardbus" on it. The PC Card interface isn't
fast enough for full 100BASE-T throughput, but that didn't
stop companies like 3Com from selling 10/100 PC Cards
like the 3CCFEM556.)
I've tried bf24 and my own 2.4.21. Can't load any
PCI NIC modules because 17b3 and 0x13d1 are unrecognized.
Anybody got one of these things working with Woody?
How did you do it?
TIA
Cameron
