Hm, this CardBus bridge being listed twice might be related to this, and
maybe the pci=assign-busses workaround there might help?

(To use it, you would hit tab on the live boot to edit the command line
if I remember correctly)

I'm not sure which one refers to the wireless card. On the card it says
Lucent Technologies, Orinoco.
I don't see any wireless card there, unless I am mistaken.
What is the output of: "lsmod"
At a guess, maybe the wireless driver module (or maybe the cardbus
driver module?) isn't loaded automatically, in which case you'd need to
do this or similar: "sudo modprobe orinoco_cs"
Check here to see which driver is required:

which IBM machine? do lspci to get the detailed info of the card your
machine has. In my laptop (X32) I had to manually load the modules that deal
with the network card, I believe some older machines need ndispwrapper, it
depends on the hardware.

Hello,
I just tried out the new live CD for the first time last night, and while
I didn't have much time to play around with it, I did notice that wifi was
not working out of the box. I've got an old thinkpad with a PCI wireless
card that I was trying it out on.
When I ran iwconfig I got the message that there were no wireless
extensions.
I'm not sure if this is a bug and I should try reporting it somewhere? Or
perhaps I just need to do some manual setup on that machine.
Let me know.
Thanks,
grant
Claude
