Sorry for the long message!

I flash my Akita with Angstrom 2007.12 release. Works fine.

I tried my Planex GW-CF11X wifi card and it does not work.

It does work on Poky (3.0) after some tweeking:

http://dab.free.fr/wp/?p=43   (In French)

Works out of the box on pdaXii13 and Cacko 1.23.

It never worked on OpenZaurus!

I first tried it without any modification and nothing happens. I then applied 
the same tweeking from Poky on Angstrom but it does not work.My Wireless router 
can not find my Akita as an attached device.

The card is recognized:   pccardctl ident

Socket 0:
  product info: "PLANEX COMMUNICATIONS INC.", "PLANEX GW-CF11X Wireless CF 
Card", "", ""
  manfid: 0xd601, 0x0010

pccardctl status:

Any idea why it does not work?

Thanks,
