getting a wireless PCMCIA Card to work

[Nathan Kline]

hmm I edited my /etc/rc.d/init.d/pcmcia file as specified in your=20
script and yet cardmgr is still not running even after a reboot.

I have a D-link dwl-650 card on a powerbook walstreet running YLD=20
3.0.1. When I go into the network configuration panel I set up a new=20
network device and select the D-link 650 driver (the IRQ is set to=20
unknown, should this be different?) and the device is eth1. I then=20
activate it and I get this error:

"pcnet_cs device does not seem to be present, delaying eth1=20
initialization."

any light you or anyone else might be able to shed on this would be=20
greatly appreciated.  so far this is hte only snag I have run into with=20=

this install.
