Support knowledgebase (pcmcia_unsupp-card)
Applies to

SuSE Linux: Versions since 6.3

Symptom:

The inserted PCMCIA card is not detected. The error message normally displayed is:
	unsupported card
or the PCMCIA card is addressed as a memory card, which it is not.

Cause:

Solution:

First of all, please refer to the file /usr/doc/packages/pcmcia/SUPPORTED.CARDS . Its last section regarding the development status of some drivers and cards which are definitely unsupported is particularly interesting.

You can also get a newer version of the PCMCIA package. This procedure is described in the article How to update the PCMCIA Card Services for Linux .

If the corresponding entry in /etc/pcmcia/config is missing, you can insert it yourself as described in the PCMCIA HOWTO.
