I believe what's happening is that some vendors of Prism cards are using the same vendor and device IDs that wavelan uses. Since the wvlan_cs entry shows up before the prism2_cs entry, pcmcia loads that module. Send me the output of 'cardctl ident' and I should be able to craft a config file that uniquely identifies the D-Link card. -Mark On Fri, 16 Mar 2001, Harry Mangalam wrote: > Hi All, > > I'm the troublemaker with the D-Link DWL650 card; Had to get my wife an Orinoco Silver card for her Mac (required for her university access).
