I have a socket low power WLAN card. It gives the same readout as a previous poster (emerika).

My input is that I had to do some hacking of the files in /home/etc/pcmcia in order for my card to show up as  WIRELESS card. As the ROM came (both Cacko 1.21b and stock), it showed up as  LAN card, which meant I could not enter any WLAN settings in the network applet.

I'm not sure anymore what I changed though, and I don't have the original files anymore (I'm not sure how to break them out of the ROM package).

If someone can tell me how/where to get the original files, I'll double check what changes I had to make and post them.

I have a Netgear MA701. But I am having problems getting it to work.

cardctl indent produces:

Socket 0:
product info: "NETGEAR", "MA701 Wireless CF Card", ""
manfid: 0xd601, 0x002
function: 6 (network)

That is what everyone tells me.

I think my card must have a problem, or be some weird interval revision. I've always had more trouble making it work than anyone else.

As long as I can hack at the files in /home/etc/pcmcia I know I can make it work if it doesn't. That is part of what is cool about Linux.

FYI: here is the change I had to make.

Modify /home/etc/pcmcia/spectrum.conf

ORIGNAL LINE:
class "network" module "hermes", "orinoco", "spectrum_cs"

MODIFIED LINE:
class "spectrum" module "hermes", "orinoco", "spectrum_cs"

That seems to be the key change. If I leave the line as stated in "original" my Socket card is seen as a LAN card. If I make the change given above, then it is seen as a WLAN card.

Does that make sense? Is my original line indeed what is stock to 1.21b? Or am I confused.

Just ordered an Asus WL-110. Supercheap (less than 40 bucks) and works great according to Basti (I will personally go administer physical punishment if this turns out not to be the case).
Cyril92 has the same card.

I don;t remember what it was in 1.21, but in 1.22 this card already has "spectrum" class instead of "network"
