In my experience, if you don't boot with the card in, chances of getting
the card to work are slim (for x86 too).  I haven't spent any time
looking into this, as it's not that a big of a deal to me.  There's
probably a way around that.

I also just realized that I sent you the wrong config.opts file. :-{

My current PPC installation is not actually working on the wireless
network (nor can I test it since I don't have wireless at home).

I'm not sure what you mean here.  I usually boot up, login as root; run
/etc/init.d/pcmcia start; and run dhcpcd eth1; and it just works
(assuming you have all the kernel support you need).

The only change I recall making to any of the pcmcia config files were
the memory ranges in the config.opts file.  This was documented
somewhere (probably the official pages), but I can't recall where.  I'll
look around for that...

Best regards,
-Neill.
