4.15. PCMCIA - PC-Card Support

4.15.1. PCMCIA Drivers

ﬂi4l can work with PCMCIA cards as well. Specify OPT_PCMCIA=’yes’ to install according base

drivers. The card driver to be used concretely is set by NET_DRV_x (Page 32).

PCMCIA_PCIC - PCMCIA socket driver

It can be chosen between: ’i82365’ or ’tcic’ for PCMCIA bridges and ’yenta_socket’ res.

’i82092’ for Cardbus bridges.

Default setting: PCMCIA_PCIC=’i82365’

PCMCIA_PCIC_OPTS - Options for the PCMCIA socket driver

Default setting: PCMCIA_PCIC_OPTS=”

Possible Settings:

poll_interval=n n in intervals of 10 milliseconds - reasonable value: 1000 Sets polling

interval for card changes.

irq_list=x,y,z,... A list of interrupts to be used

PCMCIA_MISC_N PCMCIA_MISC_x Number of PCMCIA modules to be loaded addi-

tionally: serial_cs for modems and combo cards parport_cs printer interface cards

4.16. PPP - Connection Of Computers Via Serial Interface

With OPT_PPP=’yes’ a computer can be connected via its serial interface. This may be useful

i.e. for connecting computers to a network that does not have a network interface card. The

computer connected to the serial interface is called client PC below.

PPP_DEV Specify ﬂi4l’s serial interface the client PC is connected to. Possible values are:

’com1’ COM1 port (lower cases only!)

’com2’ COM2 port (lower cases only!)

PPP_SPEED Set transfer rate here (bit/sec). 38400 is supported by older interfaces too.

Problems may occur when using rates above this.

Example: PPP_SPEED='38400'

PPP_IPADDR PPP_PEER PPP_IPADDR holds ﬂi4l’s IP address on the COM port, i.e.

’192.168.4.1’. In variable PPP_PEER the IP address of the client PC is set, i.e. ’192.168.4.2’.
