| 10 | This pcmcia card has a couple of bad raps |
| 11 | from windows users. |
| 12 | I need this card for my laptop because I have an external HD |
| 13 | enclosure |
| 14 | with eSATA port and my laptop lacks USB 2.0 (has USB 1.1). |
| 15 | The manufacturer emailed me and claimed the card was tested |
| 16 | in kernel 2.6.32 and passed. |
| 17 | I am trying to get some info about other users who may have |
| 18 | used it in their laptops running any version of linux. |

| 20 | The card's web site is: |

| 25 | I think the only way to be sure, is to find out the chipset that |
| 26 | the |
| 27 | card has. |
| 28 | |

| 31 | Below is the response from PPA, |
| 32 | to my request for chipset info. |
| 33 | I am searched the kernel 2.6.39.2 (which I got from kernel.org) |
| 34 | ��source for VT6214�� and for�� VT6421 |
| 35 | and did not get any hits. |

| 61 | The card uses the VIA VT6214 chipset for USB and the VIA chipset |
| 62 | for SATA. |
