I�m sure they are. They now incorporate features like "micoroven 
robustness" that formerly were only available in the win drivers. The
version on CD maybe is 3.x or 4.x, the drivers on the ftp-server are
6.x.

I know of two PCI pcmcia-bridges that currently do not work. The first
is the TI 1225 which is used on the Lucent pcmcia-adapters, the second
is the TI 1131. The TI1225 is not recognized at all (at least at the
time I last tried to get it working, which is about a month ago), the
TI1131 is recognized but does not work correctly. I received a bugfix
from Martin Mares (?) who wrote the PCI code for the kernel, that 
hopefully works, but I had no time to test it up to now.

Bye, Mike
