So I've got this Tamarack TC3299CE compact flash ethernet card for my new C3100 (still with Sharp ROM). It claims to be supported by a Linux driver. I noticed it is also even specifically supported by OpenBSD for Zaurus in their NE2000 driver:
OpenBSD/zaurus.
I think the card itself is ok; when I plug it into a Powerbook using the pcmcia adaptor, it lights up the "ACT" and "LINK" lights. However when I put it in the Zaurus I just get a momentary flash of the "ACT" light and then nothing. (No card slot on my Linux PC so can't test that one.)
Zaurus system info reports:
3.3V 16-bit PC Card [suspended]
product info: "CF", "10Base-Ethernet", "1.0", ""
function: 6 (network)
There are some NE2000 entries in /etc/pcmcia/config, and the product info is almost exactly the same as the Billionton CF entry (but the fourth "" field is missing, so just to be sure I added a separate entry like this:)
card "Tamarack TC3299CE"
version "CF", "10 Base-Ethernet", "1.0", ""
bind "pcnet_cs"
Below are the system log messages when I plug the card in. So it looks like the show stopper may be that it wants a net/8390.o module which isn't on the Zaurus. Anyone know if there's a compiled one available somewhere which I could just drop in? Or point me at some instructions for cross-compiling kernel modules for the Zaurus?
Thanks a lot for any help!!
