Out-of-the-box working cards

Cards working without any special configuration

  • Ambicom - AMB8610 (10 Mb)
  • Hamlet HA-HCF450 (10 Mbit)
  • billionton CFLT-10B (10 Mbit)
  • Hawking - CF686TX (10/100 Mbit) -- worked out of the box with 2.0.37
  • Pharos PE-CF100 (10/100 Mbit)
  • Sitecom CF-002 (10 Mbit) -- out of box with rom v3.10

Good cards

Searching the internet suggests the following CF Ethernet cards can be made to work

  • Socket - EA-2900-117
  • Pretec - CXL 10BT-3RP
  • Xircom - !CompactCard Ethernet 10
  • Zonet ZCF1400 CF
  • Conceptronic 100CF - 10/100 Mb

Not so good cards

People have reported difficulty getting these to work

  • Socket 10/100 (note their 10BT-only card is said to be OK). See the note below to configure the 10/100 card.
  • Zonet ZCF1400 CF. (but some say it works great)

Other cards

The Socket appears to be the cheapest of these available (in the UK). Also the Hamlet is very cheap (~ 50 euros in Italy). However I found an unbranded CF Ethernet card at half the price claiming NE2000 compatibility, and Tamarack 3299CE chipset compatibility. This worked following the basic procedure below.

Howto - basic.

The procedure appears to be ...

  • Insert card.
  • Press the Home button to get to the Settings page...
    • Select "Network
