Hi.
I am posting here because it's very hard for me to see working my PCMCIA 
wireless card.
I am using a notebook Toshiba Equium A60 with Mandriva 10.2 and my lspci is :

00:00.0 Host bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device cab3 (rev 05)
00:01.0 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc PCI Bridge [IGP 340M]
00:13.0 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc OHCI USB Controller #1 (rev 01)
00:13.1 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc OHCI USB Controller #2 (rev 01)
00:13.2 USB Controller: ATI Technologies Inc EHCI USB Controller (rev 01)
00:14.0 SMBus: ATI Technologies Inc ATI SMBus (rev 18)
00:14.1 IDE interface: ATI Technologies Inc ATI Dual Channel Bus Master PCI 
IDEController
00:14.3 ISA bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 434c
00:14.4 PCI bridge: ATI Technologies Inc: Unknown device 4342
00:14.5 Multimedia audio controller: ATI Technologies Inc IXP150 AC'97 Audio 
Controller
00:14.6 Modem: ATI Technologies Inc IXP AC'97 Modem (rev 01)
01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility 7000 
IGP
02:06.0 CardBus bridge: Texas Instruments PCI1410 PC card Cardbus Controller 
(rev 02)
02:07.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. 
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
02:0a.0 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Texas Instruments TSB43AB21 IEEE-1394a-2000 
Controller (PHY/Link)

There is stange behaviour of PCMCIA : 
1) using Modem card IBM 56k, inserting it I have:
cs: memory probe 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff: excluding 0xa0000000-0xa0ffffff
cs: memory probe 0x60000000-0x60ffffff: clean.
ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A
And it works

2) trying a wireless Netgear 32-bit CardBus MA521.
inserting it I have nothing at all. No msgs.
Removing it :
PCMCIA: socket e73ca430: *** DANGER *** unable to remove socket power

Both cards it used with another notebook works perfectly
I thank you now for your help.
