OK. Let's CC the pcmcia experts on this.

Summary: WLAN Card (Proxim Orinoco Gold 8470-WD) is not recognized by 
either 2.6.24 or 2.6.30. After inserting it, 'lspci' does not list the 
card, but 'lspci -H1' does.
Original message with lspci and dmesg output for .24 is at:

Christian: what is the PCI ID of the device? You can find out using
'lspci -H1 -nn'.
