[ale] Toshiba 2105CDS and linux

[John M. Trostel]

Have you tried the alternate driver I suggested? the tulip_cb driver

Below is a quote from the pcmcia-cs source-forge page

http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/SUPPORTED.CARDS

        [tulip_cb driver] [x86]
        [somewhat experimental]
        Accton EN2220 CardBus
        Allied Telesyn AT-2800

        Apollo FE2000
        Asante FriendlyNET CardBus
        Billionton LND-100B
        Compex Linkport TX
        D-Link DFE-660TX
        Genius MF3000                   [ some do not work?? ]
        Kingston KNE-CB4TX
        Laneed LD-10/100CB
        LevelOne FPC-0101TX 10/100Mbps CardBus
        Linksys PCMPC200 EtherFast CardBus
        NetGear FA510C
        OvisLink LFS PCM 32

        PrimeXpress Fast Ethernet
        SMC EZ CardBus 10/100 Ethernet  [ some do not work?? ]
        SVEC FD606 10/100 Ethernet
        TDK NetworkFlyer LAK-CB100X, LAK-CB100AX CardBus
        UMAX Technologies UMAX250
        [ Not recommended: support is experimental and unreliable ]
        IBM 10/100 EtherJet CardBus
        Intel EtherExpress PRO/100 CardBus
        Xircom CBE2-100BTX, RBE-100BTX, R2BE-100BTX

It works for me and my Xircom RBEM56G-100BTX card (mentioned a bit farther
down the page).
