Tecra 520cdt Linux drivers aironet340,PCMCIA-cs, tosh utils

hello all,

i am trying to setup my Cisco Aironet 340 wifi and 3-Com 10mbps wired network card on knoppix, i have left them in the pcmcia slots on boot up but knoppix does not detect them at all, i have tried to enable the cards therough the Kwifi manager and the network config through KDE, but to no avail. i have downloaded the PCMCIA-CS as this should from research allow the 3-com card to work, and the linux drivers from sourceforge for the aironet. from what i gather knoppix 4.0 found these straight away withou drivers, but 5.1 does not is there a reason for this?

thanks
