This probably wasn't what you meant. The result from the cardctl ident is: Socket 0: product info: "D", "Link DWL-650 11Mbps WLAN Card", "Version 01.02", "" manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002 function: 6 (network) Socket 1: no product info available I **VERY** much appreciate your efforts, but when I tried to load the appro module (prism2) manually, i got the same response that I got before - namely the dreaded: root@bike:/lib/modules/2.2.17/pcmcia 68 % modprobe prism2sta_cs /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/p80211.o: unresolved symbol netlink_kernel_create /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/p80211.o: unresolved symbol netlink_broadcast /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/p80211.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/p80211.o failed /lib/modules/2.2.17/net/p80211.o: insmod prism2sta_cs failed How will this problem (which a few people have run into) be resolved. Again, I HAVE compiled the netlink stuff into the kernel, but keep getting this error.
