I'm using kernel-image-2.6.5-1-686 on a Toshibia laptop and I can get
one wireless card to work, but not the Airnet 350. It works with the
old 2.4.21 kernel.
Any ideas how to get it working?
I can plug in a SMC2632W wireless card and it works. iwconfig reports:
eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"WLAN" Nickname:"Prism I"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462GHz Access Point: 00:90:D1:01:0C:CC++

When I plug in a Cisco 350 card the power light on the card does not
come on. Cardmgr does detects the card, though:

But iwconfig then shows to interfaces, and I cannot bring either up:
eth1 IEEE 802.11-DS ESSID:"tsunami"++

Why two interfaces with same data?
The ESSID shows "tsunami" -- Google turns up a lot with that name on
this card, so I assume is data from the card and not another access
point. I did try:
iwconfig eth1 essid WLAN
(and wifi0, too) but didn't do anything.
Any ideas what to check?
