Below are the messages from dmesg, /var/log/syslog, and 'ifconfig -a'.
As far as I can tell the card is being recognized as a wifi card, but
does not work. In contrast, I've been able to get a netgear PCMCIA
wifi card to work just fine. But then the Netgear card uses the
orinoco driver.
Any thoughts?
