This is where I would start.
cardctl ident <---see if it knows your card is physically there
ifconfig -a <--- look at all devices ifconfig knows about
lsmod <--this will tell you what modules are loaded however, it may be
loaded "proper" into the kernel (not installed as a module but _in_ the
kernel)
also make sure pcmcia is running on your box
/etc/init.d/pcmcia status <----- should tell you
another thing you can do is take the output of `cardctl ident` and
search /etc/pcmcia/pcmcia.conf for that particular card.
That is about all I can think of ATM.
good luck to you
make sure and ask more questions {
