| Has anyone tried using the Eiger Labs Serial PCMCIA card.
I purchased one recently to add a serial adapter to my laptop.
I got the drivers installed but, no program I use will see it. | |
|
| What OS?
Is your Laptop support PnP? or driver?
Most PC support PC card!!! | |

| I am using XP.
The OS finds and supports it correct as far as I can tell.
The problem is that no other software sees it | |
|
| What is that PC card?
NIC, Modem or FLASH RAM?
So program that need to run the PC card. | |

The Eiger Labs PCMCIA Serial Adapter Card is the ideal solution for adding a high-speed RS-232 port to your laptop computer. The internal 16550 UART with its built-in data buffers provides maximum performance for windows users to run high-speed peripherals - such as high -speed analog and ISDN modems - without wasting bandwith re-transmitting missing characters. An industry standard DB-9 connector is included to connect your laptop computer to serial peripherals.
High-performance serial RS-232 port
Buffered 16550 UART for fast operation
Supports all PC Card, Type II compliant PCs
Removable industry standard DB-9 male connector
Serial port installs as a standard com port
I want to use it to configure Cisco Routers through the Console Port | |

| It shows up as Com 3 I am guessing
I also do not have any other serial ports on the laptop, which is why I had to buy the pcmcia card | |

| This doesn't solve your problem, but if all else fails you might try one of the USB to serial adapters. There are a couple of companies that make them (not any biggies like Belkin as far as I know), but I've heard they work just fine. | |
|
| Sometime it is just a bad hardware issue, get a different PC card.
