[uug] pcmcia wireless under 2.6 kernel

[Chris Kosanovich]

 I was just wondering if anyone has managed to get a pcmcia wireless 
card working under a 2.6 kernel. It was working fine under 2.4 and since 
i upgraded to 2.6 i haven't tried to get it to work again, however now i 
am giving it a go and i can't quite seem to get it to work properly. I 
emerged pcmcia-cs and wireless-tools but with the 2.4 kernel you don't 
compile pcmcia support into the kernel, instead you let pcmcia-cs 
drivers do all the work. Well now pcmcia-cs tells me that i have to have 
pcmcia compiled into the kernel so i do that and have pcmcia load up and 
when i stick in the wireless card the activity light turns on and 
cardctl status shows

Socket 0:
   no card
Socket 1:
   5V 16-bit PC Card
   function 0: [ready], [bat low]
but ifconfig -a shows nothing and before when pcmcia was working 
properly when i would insert the card it would give me two beeps, now it 
does nothing. I am assuming the problem here is pcmcia is seeing the 
card but doesn't know what to do with it, do i need to change 
wireless.opts or some other thing to set this up or do i have to get a 
driver? I just wanted to see if anyone knows off bat.
 Thanks

p.s. the card is a Xircom model CWE1100
