A sort of reply to my own problem, lest anyone else come across it and need help:
1. I disbled the PCMCIA support in my kernel and used only the yenta cardbus support, which made the card start to give a consistent vendor ID. 2. the card has an acx111 chipset and I found an experimental driver here: http://acx100.sourceforge.net/ the card is now clearly recognised and can be activated (green led lights up) by inserting the approriate module. 3. Now I get to test it in the network environment tomorrow! Many other wireless cards from various companies are supported by this driver , so I hope this info may be useful to someone. I would also like to add that I was helped to find this by an employee of sitecom who has his own web site with linux how to's for several of their products. On a side note it is released under the BSD license, put I hope that puts nobody off...
