I first like to say thanks to everyone who's been trying to help me. I'm
learning a lot while working on getting this card to work. That's actually
more important to me than getting this card to work.
I'm still have problems getting the card to be reported by "lspci", but is
being reported "lspcmcia". I might be wrong, but I think it more important
currently to get my card reported by "lspci" than worrying about working on
the device driver. Is this correct, or am I going about this wrong?
