I'm having some trouble getting a Netgear WG511 card to even be 
recognized by card services.  The card is fully functional under Windows 
so the problem isn't the card.  The system is a HP Pavilion zv6015us 
running FC4 x86_64.  I put the card in the slot and cardctl 
status/info/ident behave as if there isn't a card.  yenta and the 
assorted PCMCIA modules are loaded so not sure what the problem is 
although this 
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/kernel/pcmcia/pcmcia.html doesn't give 
me too many warm fuzzies that it should "just work."
