Hoffoss" <john.t.hoffoss at gmail.com> I could be wrong (it's actually likely), but I don't think this is where I need to be. Since the wg511 is a 32 Cardbus card, my understanding is that the pcmcia stuff doesn't apply so much. Since the cardbus card is treated as a PCI device, I've been trying to get my head around /etc/hotplug/pci.agent and it seemed to me that the device database was built at the time the kernel was compiled (I'm using the stock Debian 2.6.10 kernel for i686). Now I'm looking at /lib/modules/2.6.10-1-686/modules.pcimap and I'm not so sure. If I change the line in modules.pcimap that lists my card prism54 0x00001260 0x00003890 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x0 to ndiswrapper 0x00001260 0x00003890 0xffffffff 0xffffffff 0x00000000 0x00000000 0x0 would that fix it? Is that the file that is read during the hotplug event? On Tue, 22 Feb 2005 12:02:12 -0600, John T.
