You should try doing a:
pccardc dumpcis | grep Linksys
You should be able to see the Manuf string that the card is reporting.
If it's even slightly different pccardd won't be able to find it in
pccard.conf. I had a similar prob with my Linksys 10-baseT card.
pcardd.conf had:
Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard (EC
but the card was returning:
Combo PCMCIA EthernetCard (EC2T)
A simple change to pccard.conf should do that trick, or at least get you
one step further. :)
