Is the card a NetGear WG511T 108 pc-card? I have one and I'm using the madwifi drives from sourceforge to enable this card on my HP laptop using slackware 10.0. -----Original Message----- From: tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org [mailto:tclug-list-bounces at mn-linux.org] On Behalf Of Kraig Jones Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 10:41 PM To: Andrew Zbikowski; TCLUG Mailing List Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Prism54 (Was kernel 2.6 ready for prime time?)

Still no success. lspci does not list the WG511, though other cardbus cards do show up. The WG511 has two LEDs, which have never come on. So I think I still have cardbus/PCMCIA problems, not network problems. Am I correct that hotplug handles the card-computer interface, and that has to be working before the computer and network driver can begin to work? I'm confused about where the "firmware" comes in. To me, "firmware" means non-volatile memory, and shouldn't have to be loaded every time the card starts up. Thanks for the help.
