RE: PCMCIA problem

Thanks Brian and Chris, I solved the cardmgr problem by reformatting and the
drivers problem by getting a card with Orinoco chipset.

Not the best of solutions, but its working

Thanks!

In my experience, PCMCIA woorks better in 2.4 kernels than in 2.6.

Basically, you need to determine the chipset of the Wireless card you are
trying to run.
There is an excellent thread on this list (search for "Quest for linux
supported Wireless") that will help you determine if your card is, or can be
supported in Fedora, and what kernel modules to use.

A quick search of the list archives, or Google for that matter, would help
you.
