Using PCMCIA and CardBus with NetBSD

The GENERIC kernels shipped with NetBSD includes PCMCIA drivers to work with any Toshiba notebook. Cardbus support must be turned on explicitly (it crashes some NON-Toshiba machines).

Make sure you set PCIC Controller Mode to Cardbus/16bit in the BIOS.

Please see the download page for some optimized kernels & kernel config files. The peripherals page lists some tested pcmcia and cardbus components.

For more information regarding the NetBSD kernel, please see the NetBSD Kernel FAQ.
