URGENT HELP ON PCMCIA!

[Santanu Roy]

Thank you for the additional information. I will dig into it to see what could be wrong in config....any suggestion for the probable causes and areas I need to check?
Thanks!

As you have been told, this indicates a configuration problem: "08:59:52 173 cardmgr[126]: unsupported card in socket 1" cardmgr does not recognize this card, i.e. has no config data about this 
card.
Cardmgr uses /etc/pcmcia/config to identify PCMCIA/PC Card manfid and 
connect this to a driver.
Here you need to tell cardmgr that manfid: 0x02d0, 0x044d (product ID) 
is bound to a certain driver "wl.o". See /etc/pcmcia/config for examples 
on how to do this (notice that you will probably need to entries to this 
file, one in the start to describe the card ("network") and one entry to 
bind manfid,prodid to driver "wl.o").

Then cardmgr should be able to automatic load the driver on card 
insertion/removal.

But you also have a problem when manually loading the module, and you 
need to solve this problem first..
