new pcmcia

Post by jsusanka » Tue Apr 25, 2006 8:47 pm

does anybody know or know of a resource about how to get cards working with the new pcmcia subsystem.

both suse 10 and fedora 5 have it -

with the old subsystem I could just put the following in the /etc/pcmcia/config file

card "PROXIM Harmony 802.11b/LAN PC CARD"
manfid 0x0126, 0x8000
bind "orinoco_cs"

and my card would work just fine - its a wireless pcmcia 802.11b wireless adapter and I bought it because I knew it would work with the old pcmcia subsytem - but now I cannot get it to work with the new subsystem and I have google to death on it and I still can figure the dang thing out.

I never got anywhere with it though.
