Is there support for my card TW-345 model C in kernel version f.g.hh?
• (REW) First check if your card is detected at boot time. It usually is. Second see if you might need to configure something like modules.conf for your card. Third see if there is a file with the card name in the kernel sources. (e.g. you have a Buslogic card, and there is a buslogic.c file in the kernel sources, you’re in luck.). Next, grep for the manufacturer name through ALL the kernel sources. And try the model number of your card. Also try to find the largest chip on your card and grep for the chip number on that thing. Realize that 53C80 chips might be named 5380 in the kernel. Other chips don’t have their middle name removed. Nothing yet? Now check DejaNews, using the same arguments you used to grep the kernel source. There are 99.99% chances that somebody has exactly the same card TW-345 model C. Ok. That’s what you can do without bothering anyone. If all this doesn’t lead somewhere, you should really ask this question on a newsgroup like comp.os.linux.hardware.
