Cardbus is a newer standard that incorporates PCMCIA so that it can be backwards compatable. Cardbus Sockets can take both PCMICA and Cardbus cards. However Cardbus cards won't fit in a PCMCIA socket. On the card side of the standard Cardbus are 32-bit cards that run at 3.3v while PCMCIA is 16bit and 5v. The easiest way to tell the difference between the cards (I know this is the case for Xircom cards not sure about other brands): PCMCIA: Flat silver strip on top of card. Cardbus: Bronze strip with little raised bumps on top of the card. Regards, Craig.

Xircom RealPort modem(/eth) not working
Hi, I've recently installed Debian on a Toshiba Tecra 8000. I'm trying to get a Xircom RealPort Ethernet + Modem card working. I've compiled my own kernel (2.0.36) along with my own pcmcia modules package. I notice that "hot swap" doesn't seem to work. That is, when I push the card in or take the card out, the kernel doesn't seem to recognise that anything has changed. But fortunately running "/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart" seems to cause the card to be recognised. I then have tried to use the modem. When I use pon, plog waits for expect (OK) but never gets it! I thought it was because maybe /dev/ttyS0 was the wrong serial port, but no, even when I change it to /dev/ttyS1 it doesn't work. Does anyone know what's wrong? Here's some info: Now here's something interesting. I just went to look at my /proc/interrupts file and it has changed since I last looked at it! Previously it was showing IRQ4 as being used for serial, now it has gone and we have: 0: 14170060 timer 1: 7121 keyboard 2: 0 cascade 5: 9 xirc2ps_cs 7:310 plip1 13: 1 math error 14: 21856 + ide0 15: 0 + ide1 Curious.
