I'd like to try and get a PCMCIA card working on a DELL Inspiron 6000
laptop. Has anyone tried this?

AIUI it has a RICOH RL5c476 Cardbus controller according to a PCI scanner
I ran. Which Socket services driver will support that?


This is a Cardbus card  You do not need Socket services. An NDIS driver should do, exactly as if the card were a PCI card.

I use a Xircom Realport Cardbus card in my Thinkpad 600E and the required line is 'device=c:\ibmcom\macs\cbendis.os2'

(Together with the usual other ibmcom stuff, of course).

Geoff, AFAIK, this is indeed *not* a CardBUS card. Of course, if you're using the same chipset along with a CardBUS card, that would make my statement moot...

Are you sure that cbendis.os2 is not just a point enabler driver, which would mitigate the need for socket services?
