moxieman,

I got this card to work in my toshiba laptop this past Saturday. It took me about a week to figure it out. Although I am a newbie in linux.

I am using Knoppix 3.3 installed on the hard drive.

I found out that the sample information on the SMC site uses a different manfid than what my card has. I used cardctl -ident and that gave me the correct id. Then I looked in the amtel config file in /etc/pcmcia and saw the driver they were binding to is not the standard pcmcia_cs or wavelan_cs. So I edited the conf file in /etc/pcmcia just like the sample at the SMC site suggested, but substituted the correct manfid and driver in the appropriate places.

I rebooted the machine and BAM it worked like a champ.

Up until I figured that out I downloaded drivers (found that none were needed). I recompiled the kernel 3 or 4 times (not needed).

And in the end Knoppix already has the driver, the kernel is already set correctly and all I had to do was edit the proper config files.

Hope this helped.
