Need help setting up a Netgear MA401 Rev D card

[Madhusudan Singh]

Thanks for such a prompt response !!

I wish to know if you have had any resource conflicts arising from using 
ACPI ?

Regarding network.opts :

Does the *,*,*,* follow the same scheme syntax as in wireless.opts ? 
Plus, has there ever been any conflict with eth0 ?

I do not see any place in that file to declare that wlan0 is the network 
device for pcmcia.

Do you use hostap_cs or hostap_pci ? And if the former, do you start 
pcmcia services at bootup ? I have disabled mine because of resource 
conflicts. I suspect that this has something to do with my (unchanged) 
config.opts :
