I just installed FC3 on a Toshiba Tecra M2.   Having a problem at the
moment getting the built in ipw2200bg wireless to work.  I have also
found that if the wireless on/off switch is thrown FC3 locks up solid. 
(is that worth a bug report?)

It seems to see the wireless interface, able to run an iwlist scan and
see the available APs but have been unable to connect to an AP.  

But to your problem.  What does lspci give you?  How about cardctrl
status and cardctl ident?

And did you try:

service pcmcia restart
