Derek, Apologies regarding starting a new thread. I'm an anxious child... Anyhow, I believe pcmcia-cs is in fact installed, because I looked up the package and it was not on the list. I also recall installing something that looked similar to it when I first installed Mandrake Linux.
I entered the command cardctl ident, and these were the results: Socket 0: product info: "Adapted", "Wireless PC Card V3.0", " ", " " manfid: 0x9005, 0x0021 function: 6 (network) I also tried dmesg | grep pcmcia, but no results were returned. Thanks for the help, and sorry for being a nuisance. --Marc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Derek Jennings" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2004 4:25 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Detecting WLAN Card > On Sunday 11 Jan 2004 9:01 pm, Marc Resnick wrote: > > Mandrake Linux 9.2 isn't detecting my Adaptec AWN-8030.
