I use one. It says NE2000 compatible when you plug it in. I guess people get bored with adding new model numbers when they're basically similar underneath. What's far more important is the controller chipset in the laptop. For example I can now use the ti1220 in slink whereas I had to compile the sources from csb.stanford.edu with hamm. However, I can't install from scratch even in slink because the installation program only offers the choice of i82365 and tcic. This made installation quite tough as the slink installation kernel also has no ppa support. i'm trying to compile a 2.2.10 kernel for it, but I can't find the option for Pcmcia NE2000 compatible support for the apne.o module. Its in the Configure.help file... or is there another way of doing things for pcmcia?

(i've only worked with desktops up until now). when does the controller chipset come into things? how does that work? Short answer: do nothing. I don't know what the apne.o module is. But it sounds as if you may be looking for a problem that isn't there. If you're compiling a kernel, you've got kernel-package, kernel-source and pcmcia-source installed. Once you've configured the kernel in the usual way (I use make menuconfig), you do make-kpkg clean make-kpkg --revision=foobar.1.0 kernel_image make-kpkg --revision=foobar.1.0 modules_image which makes two packages which you then install. Note that as far as pcmcia is concerned, there's nothing to do. For example, I configure Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit) [*] (built-in) 3COM cards N (don't build) because 3COM comes up automatically. If you use pcmcia IDE stuff, then there's an option for that. But I never mention what sort of card manager or card I have - they're all in the source and, AIUI, you make a bundle of modules because you don't know a priori what make of card somebody else might want to push into the slot.

I've been using the tarball for ages now (originally because the debian package was slow to reach my mirror) and haven't had any problems or seen any addition advantage that might be gained from using the package.

But then again, Windoze NT4 SP3 won't recognise the ti1220 even using the card manager disks specially supplied by Gatewav.
