Compaq WL200 and pd6729

Heh, if the card is pci it can't be be so antique. I have those cars also and they
are working 101% well with pd6729, my dmesg below.

- Do you have a PS/2 mouse? Should the irq=12 be excluded in config.opts?

cardctl ident should give:
Socket 0:
  product info: "Compaq", "WL200_11Mbps_Wireless_PCI_Card", "", ""
  manfid: 0x0138, 0x0002
  function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
  no product info available

- Have you edited the /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia ? Assume you have RedHat or Fedora.

PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=pd6729
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
CARDMGR_OPTS=

- Have you copied the hostap_cs.conf to the /etc/pcmcia directory ?
- Why not just reboot and start the pcmcia by runing: service pcmcia start instead
of just manually load modules/cardmgr ?

- The FCs /etc/init.d/pcmcia script has some troubles. I have to do following
changes to it, to get "service pcmcia restart" work properly.

The first star priority change isn't necessary.
