 __Ricoh PCI Adapter__ (the ones sold at the last meeting - chipset = R5C475II)

 * (http://www.freebsd.org/ FreeBSD 4.7, 4.6): see the [SpecificCases specific cases] page 

 

 __Svec__ 

 * The Svec WL-123 adaptors are equipped with an Ricoh RL5c475 chipset, see the Ricoh PCI Adapter above. 

 * Depending on the BIOS of your PC, the SVEC may not get an IRQ under Linux - see [http://martybugs.net/wireless/router.cgi] for info on getting it working under [RedHat] 7.3 on a PCI2.1 compliant PC (the SVECs supposedly require a PCI2.2 compliant BIOS).

 __Vadem VG-469__ 

 * Detected under Windows as an Intel PCIC compatible PCMCIA card. Fully functional as a PCMCIA bridge. 

 * Works under Linux using the I82365 module.

 * Will not work under Windows unless you use a PCMCIA WiFi card from a manufacturer that uses PLX carriers (eg. Netgear). Enterasys/Orinoco cards therefore won't work under Windows in one of these cradles.

 __PCI version issues__ 

 * Does someone who knows about such stuff want to talk about old MB that might have issues with PCI v2.0, 2.1 or 2.2 want to make a comment here? 

-** from my poor understanding of the matter there are issues putting PCI cards with higher version numbers into older slots... (or is it the other way around?).  Lack of backwards compatability, lots of *NIX systems seem to have partial workarounds. [paulvdB]
