Andrew, I have tried your script, and I still get no functionality of my wifi card. Dirk, I have tried removing cbb, pcic, and cardbus, but I get an error when I reboot about there being no pccard devices. If I have pccard and cbb, I have the same functionality as before (or lack thereof). The lights on the card seem to indicate that it can connect to the wireless network, but I cannot even ping the wifi AP. That tells me there is a problem. Any further advice would be appreciated.
