1 Hi,
2
3 I have a Senao NL-2511CD PLUS EXT2 wireless PCMCIA card, which I am
4 planning to use in my desktop PC through a Ricoh RL5c475 PCI-PCMCIA
5 bridge. The relevant output from uname, lspci and lspcmcia is at the
6 end of this message. The kernel configuration file and
7 /etc/pcmcia/config.opts is attached.
8
9 The problem I am seeing is that the wlan0 interface is not created by
10 the kernel. Here is the error log in the syslog file when I remove and
11 insert the PCMCIA card:

25 What could be the reason for this problem? Any hints on how to further
26 troubleshoot greatly appreciated...
