Hm ... , a bunch of other manufacturers ?

While browsing through the Internet i was counting 6 ones:

- 3Com 3C1 -> not working under NetBSD yet
- Ambicom AMB8610 -> no information about behaviour under NetBSD
- Pretec CompactLAN -> a very stubborn card I've got one which works in
a Compaq 2010C running WinCE2.0 but refuses to cooperate with NetBSD on a=

NECMobile Pro 770
- Socket CF+ LP-E-> NO PROBLEMS at all
- TDK LAC-CF010 -> no information
- Xircom CFE-10 -> NO PROBLEMS at all

I would be glad if some other's would share their experience with these
Cards (especially the Pretec)
Because I'm living in Germany Information about TDK products are also
welcome.
Is anyone interested in building a complete CF Hardware Compatibility Lis=

for NetBSD ?
