Hi Martin,

Thanks for the reply. I did add those lines to the config file and the error 
on restarting pcmcia is gone. But still the card is not recognized and the 
hostap_cs module is not loaded on pcmcia restart. So something is wrong with 
card, I guess. I have 2 of them and both don't work.

Thanks,
Senthil
