I just jumped into the wireless bandwagon with a Belkin F5D7010 pcmcia card. Previously I had installed the NVIDIA driver 1.0-5336.
Every time I need to boot without the Belkin card plugged I lost X. I can no boot to runlevel 5 no matter if I plug the card again. I found out that this problem is easily solved adding the line "alias /dev/nvidia* nvidia" to /etc/modprobe.conf, which for some reason is deleted if I boot without the card plugged.. However, it really surprises me that plugging/unplugging a pcmcia card somehow breaks the NVIDIA driver or modprobe.conf. I am using the Belkin card with the CD Windows XP driver under Linuxant driverloader. Running Mandrake 10 Official with kernel 2.6.3-9. I wish I could get rid of this annoyance. Any hint will be truly appreciated. Adolfo
