I don't know wheather to buy a pcmcia usb 2.0 card.
In my laptop, this time there is only usb 1.1 integrated and I bought an
external usbHD.
Are there any special drivers needed, or can I just modprobe the cardbus usb
adapter, modprobe the usbHD and use it? Or may I run into troubles with
modules supporting my pcmcia usbcard?
Thanks a lot for your quick answear!
USB 2.0 uses a different host controller driver, but it's
already in the kernel, so you may need to modprobe it,
or it may be loaded automatically for you...
The USB hard drive likely works with a USB 1.1 or USB 2.0
controller, just at different speeds. As long as it is
USB mass storage spec compliant, the usb-storage driver
will work with it.
You can check the USB working devices list at
http://www.qbik.ch/usb/devices/
for known working USB controllers and/or hard drives.
