[pcmcia] What is "Yenta" Socket?

BlackCell · 11-08-2003, 09:21 AM

Hello People,

Can anyone of you explain me what yenta socket is, and or means? And also let me know the differnce with I82365? I know it has to do with pcmcia but that's basically all... I first had that i82365 in my lsmod but now it is yenta, what is better???

Tx for your help

both yenta and i82365 are drivers for pcmcia cards located in your kernel, apparenlty its compiled as a module for your kernel since it's showing up in lsmod, yenta is typically for newer laptops, i82365 is for older laptops and desktops with isa bus card readers.

Tx for the reply, now I get it, so in this case Yenta is good for me :-)
