Vendor-specific device information
Buried deeply in the Zoom FAQs you'll read that they do not support SMP. Hence, you will only be able to use the ZoomAir ISA-to-PCMCIA bridge on single processor machines.
A couple of WLAN users reported that it is actually possible to use the Siemans Gigaset cordless phones (2.4Ghz spread spectrum): seems like live they can live happily together with 802.11 compliant wireless networks. However, be aware with other cordless phone systems as this issue is certainly vendor specific.
David T. Witkowski explained that Siemens Gigaset cordelss phones use DS (direct-sequence) spread-spectrum and that because of this, they will co-exist with a WLAN such as those from the Intersil/Intalk systems. The issue of interference comes up when you try to run the Siemens Gigaset near an FH system such as the Proxim RangeLAN.
However, even when using a DS system near a Siemens Gigaset there will be some interference, due to the non-ideal nature of the system. Inter-symbol interference, multipath, filter non-linearity, etc will all contribute to cases where clicks/pops will sometimes be heard on the Gigaset and/or packets in the wireless system will be blocked/corrupted.
The ISA cards should work fine on:
IRQ: 9, 10, 11 and 12 IOBASE: 0x240, 0x280, 0x2c0, 0x300, 0x340, 0x380, 0x3c0 (i.e. steps of 0x40)
According to the Am79C930 data book pp 64: "Any of the following channels within an ISA Plug and Play system may be utilized by the Am79C930 device: IRQ 4, 5, 9, 10, 11, or 12." but isapnptools is know to claim that a more restrictor set (9,10,11,12) are allowed. So, be careful with 4 and 5.
