Hmmmm... well that can be a number of things. Can you give a cut of dmesg with the appropriate failed to load info. Do you get a double flat tone or one high pitched, one flat tone? If the later than you don't have /etc/wireless.opts set up proper. Another thing you can try is the following, as root type (with the pcmcia card in the slot of course ;-)!):
# cardctl ident Socket 0: product info: "Lucent Technologies", "WaveLAN/IEEE", "Version 01.01", "" manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002 function: 6 (network) Socket 1: no product info available which gives you some input on your card... in particular the manfid. If pcmcia isn't recognizing the manfid as belonging to a Cisco card then you can force it by modifying config for pcmcia. You do that for example as follows: add to /etc/pcmcia/config card "My pain in the pcmcia card ;-)" manfid 0x0156, 0x0002 bind "airo_cs" bind whatever driver you want to the correct manfid (this is only if you are getting the double flat tone.. i.e. the card manager can't find a driver for the device). I don't think the MAC addresses would be causing the trouble as MAC has nothing to do with card manager finding your card. If you are getting the high pitch, flat pitch then it could be a MAC problem if your wireless network uses MAC filtering and you haven't gotten the admin to add your card to the "accepted" file... or do it yourself if you are running MAC filtering on your router ;-)!
