Networking :: Wireless PCMCIA card, Not working



Hmm. Do you see IRQ, IO, other addresses for the pcmcia in bios? Perhaps you need to give those to i82365 for it to see it.
The bios doesn't contain anything about the pcmcia, only IRQ, and IO options for Serial port, IR port, Audio port, and the Parallel port. Unfortunately, that's about as advanced as the configuration gets.

Any way of getting that information from Debian? I assume that since it's working in debian that it must be using the right IRQ or IO?

Since you have Etch working with the pcmia card
Please post the output of lsmod, lspci, cardctl ls, cardctl info from etch :D
In Etch cardctl should be pccardctl..
At least this time I didn't have to type it all up like the last few commands. Just appended to a file and transferred it. :)
