I have two of these cards that are version 3, and one would not work until I
started using NetworkManager.  It is displayed as wifi01/wlan01 card.  My
other computer picked it as eth1 and it is working with out NetworkManager.
Both computers were clean installs on my test systems.  I will let you know
if I find out any more on this card.  Both are working for me currently, and
both list them self as The Linksys Group, Inc. Instant Wireless Netowrk PC
Card ISL37300P RevA
