I just bought a WiFi and couldn't get it to auto detect either. I had bought it because support was claimed in the 2.4.17 kernel and it was recomended by a friend. I also had problems getting the cardmgr to recoginise the card and then autoload the driver. (I still can't figure out who it works). I would imaging that your running woody and therefore the version of pcmcia-cs[1] that your using is 3.1.33-6. Last week when I checked sourceforge for the latest version 3.2.1 was out. I download it, compiled it and then installed it. I seam to remember that the make installed installed it stright to the correct place. Probably best if you remove the pcmcia-cs package first [note to self must follow my own advice :-)].
