Ian, the DWL-650+ is a 32-bit CardBus card, so configuring and setting up pcmcia and the associated card services is not going to help you here. In your kernel, you should have PCCard, 32-bit CardBus, and CardBus yenta-compatible all compiled in under Bus options-PCCARD. After building that kernel, you should see stuff in dmesg or /v/l/messages appear when you insert or remove the card, and should appear in the output of 'lspci'. Then you can continue on with setting up ndis wrapper, or search for a native driver for the card. If it is atheros based, the madwifi driver should work. -Richard -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
