Hi all,
I have installed my pcmcia-card (netgear wg511t) using "madwifi". I
could make the wireless-connection work, however as soon as I insert the
pcmcia card the system get's really slow as if the card is using up all
of the memory. Interesting is that I have noticed this behaviour even
before I have installed the madwifi driver, which lets me assume that it
rather has something to do with the configuration of the pcmcia-cs
package. I am using the following kernel:
2.6.8-2-386
In an earlier installation I used a 2.4-Kernel and didn't seem to have
this problem. Should pcmcia-cs only be used with 2.4-Kernels?
This is what I get when I look into dmesg:
PCI: Enabling device 0000:03:00.0 (0000 -> 0002)
ACPI: PCI interrupt 0000:03:00.0[A] -> GSI 10 (level, low) -> IRQ 10

This is my /etc/network/interfaces file:

Any idea where I should be looking for the problem. I am also happy to
provide additional information to how my system is setup.
Thank you in advance.
