Hint: Avoid d-link DWL-G650+ (atheros ACX111) based cards - they have a
resource conflict with this laptop resulting in a hard lockup.
Interesting, it works under dozeXP after loading the manufacturers
driver as per instructions (ndiswrapper, madwifi and the acx100 project
all suffer from this)
Make sure you compile as modules (doesnt seem to work when monolithic),
and check /etc/conf.d/pcmcia - mine is standard, but in the past I did
have to force yenta_socket to load and not the default (problem since
gone away)
Let me know if you need anything else

Default pcmcia loads the modules on startup (i have not modified it at
all), then card specific ones on insertion:
lsmod for modules associated with pcmcia and an old hermes/orinoco card
orinoco_cs 6792 1
orinoco 43152 1 orinoco_cs
hermes 6272 2 orinoco_cs,orinoco
yenta_socket 20488 3
rsrc_nonstatic 11392 1 yenta_socket
pcmcia_core 46108 4
