Greetings.

I'm new to PCMCIA. I'm installing Gentoo on a friend's laptop, and I
can't get a wireless network card working - or detected at all.

As you can see, I'm using the Yenta drivers in the 2.6.12-gentoo-r3
kernel. They appear to load correctly.

I'm a little unclear on whether there is any other source of drivers
these days. When I built the pcmcia-cs package, it didn't build any
kernel modules, so I assume these have been merged into the kernel now
and pcmcia-cs only includes user-space tools?

I'm using coldplugging, which loads all the modules I need:

I'm also running the pcmcia init.d script from the pcmcia-cs package in
the boot runlevel. When the script runs, I get the following message:

* PCMCIA support detected
* Starting pcmcia ...
cardmgr[27894] watching 1 socket

The problem is that while the drivers load and the card manager daemon
runs and claims that it's monitoring the PCMCIA bus, plugging /
unplugging the DLink G650+ ( atheros chipset ) network card has no
effect at all. I've tried loading the ath_pci drivers for this chipset
to see if changes things. It doesn't. There's not output from dmesg, in
/var/log/everything/current, /proc/bus/pccard, or anywhere else. I can
plug and unplug the card with absolutely no effect anywhere.

The card does work, however. It was working previously with Windows XP,
and it does *something* if I plug it into my Powerbook. Why isn't my
setup detecting when a card is being plugged in?
