I'm using a dual-boot Gateway 600 laptop with a Cisco 350. Unfortunately, while the card works fine in Windows, I get no results when booting knoppix (card is recognized on init, then both status lights light up and stay). This happens with all of the Knoppix CDs (various release dates) that I've burned.

Obviously the kernel is seeing the kernel as lsmod contains the following:
airo_cs 3492 0 (unused)
airo 37800 0 [airo_cs]
ds 6472 2 [airo_cs]
yenta_socket 8640 2
pcmcia_core 37568 0 [airo_cs ds yenta_socket]

hwsetup -n -v confirms that the card is being detected with the following:
class: NETWORK
bus: UNKNOWN
device: eth
driver: airo_cs
desc: 350 Series Wireless LAN Adapter

When I do a wlcardconfig, I get a dialog box telling me that No Wireless card was found.

There is even a /proc/driver/aironet directory (which should contain status info) but the directory is blank.

Although it worked in Red Hat 8, I've also been unable to get this card working in Red Hat 9. Could it be a problem with the version of airo_cs compiled with the kernel?

As a side note, I've also tried an Orinoco Gold card (model 8420-WD) and have the same problem. The card appears to be recognized and initialized, but wlcardconfig tells me it's not there so I never get the option to enter an SSID or WEP key.

Thanks,
Steve
