wow, you have that card up and running? I wanted to "upgrade" to a cardbus card and tried the FA511 but couldn't get it to work. What kernel version do you use? Did you compile pcmcia support into the kernel? Did you pick pcmcia-cs from unstable? When I bring up the card by hand, ifconfig shows that the card is sending packets but never receiving anything. Also, the vendor is 0xffff and lspci calls that illegel... Thanks, -tom
