I don't have this card, but I believe I have seen similar behavior before if the firmware blob was missing. According to this http://mycusthelp.com/sierrawireless/supportkbitem.asp?sSessionID=&Inc=4703&sFilA=FAQ%20Category&sFilB=Products&sFilC=&KEY=860 cardmgr used to look for the firmware in /etc/pcmcia/cis/ According to this http://www.sierrawireless.com/faq/ShowFAQ.aspx?ID=118 for the 2.6 kernel you need to move that firmware blob over to /lib/firmware/ Clayton -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
