Lucent probably changed the card id in the CIS. The existing entry in the
pccard.conf file is:
# Lucent WaveLAN/IEEE
card "Lucent Technologies" "WaveLAN/IEEE"
config 0x1 "wi0" ?
insert logger -t pccard:$device -s WaveLAN/IEEE inserted
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device
remove logger -t pccard:$device -s WaveLAN/IEEE removed
remove /sbin/ifconfig $device delete
Poke the card in your system, do a pccardc dumpcis, and edit the above entry
to match the two ID strings, probably something like "Orinoco/IEEE" at a
guess.
