Just got myself a pcmcia wireless card for my laptop (sarge installed). All this "linux is wonderful " ,"works out of the box" and "next next next" themes running around numbed me senseless to the point I didn't enter the trio ($cardname linux support) in google.
Being the Israeli that I am I got the cheapest card in the block and now I'm spending my valuable time hacking it to work (another applause for Israeli logic :) ). I believe that the wireless network driver support can be arranged - but I'm not sure it's pcmcia is supported. How can I start fiddling around and validating if the thing works? Google shows nothing - that I assume is either because of it being a relatively new card or it lacking any linux support whatsoever (but I don't even get the linuxquestions.org threads asking for support and with 4 replies of "Isn't supported - bummer" so there's still hope). I read about cardctl ident being a kinda lspci for the pcmcia - but I get a: socket 0: no product info available Will the support be in the configuration or a newer kernel? Do you think ndiswrapper is enough for wlan support? Will Arafat return his delicate soul to the saviour? and will I save myself the humility of going back to the store and replacing the card for something that works well but isn't fun because you don't need to hack it up to make it work :).
