5. Data transfer with the card is slow and unreliable.

Solution: (1) Some computers with poor PCI bus latency may cause transmit FIFO

underrun, therefore, some packets will be lost. Enable the store and for-
ward property (refer to readme.txt under the \Win9X subdirectory of the dri-
ver diskette).
(2) This problem can also occur with docking stations. If this is the case,

please contact your computer manufacturer for a possible remedy.

Windows NT 4.0

1. The card can not be enabled.

Solution: Since Windows NT 4.0 does not support CardBus, make sure the CardBus

Enable property of the card is set as Enable to let the driver of the card to
enable the CardBus controller directly.

2. The driver can not work in conjunction with third party Card and Socket Services dri-

vers.

Solution: Currently, it is true. You can not work in conjunction with third party drivers

just by setting the CardBus Enable property as disable to let third party
Card and Socket Services drivers enable the CardBus controller. The fea-
ture will be added in next driver release.

3. The driver does not support

Hot-swap

on NT 4.0

Solution : Since the driver only enables the controller directly, if does not handle card

insertion and removal. The feature will be achieved in next driver release
by cooperating with third party Card and Socket Services drivers.

PCI CardBus Bridge Utilities

Since we are only using these utilities on PCI systems with BIOS that does not support

PCI-to-CardBus bridges, we need to configure the bridge and map CardBus devices
downstream of (behind) the bridge. Some PCI systems have host bridges that are inca-
pable of generating the required configuration cycles to access devices behind PCI-to-
CardBus bridges.
