Hi,   I bought a new laptop this week (myfirst) and installed mandrake 8.2 on it.  My netgear 401 wireless card is hot swappable so when I unplug/plug it in, I get a couple messages from cardmgr on console listing the manufacturer and model of the card..  but when I cat /var/lib/pcmcia/stab. It says both pcmcia slots are ‘empty’.    Man page states that a low pitch sound means cardmgr failed to load the driver, so I’m assuming the low pitch sound means it has failed?   Can anyone give me a couple quick tips for getting networking running on this thing?  Or point me in the right direction to some online info?  I’ve been searching for a couple hours with no luck.  =)   Thanks guys, -T
