Hello Seth,

sorry I was not detailed enough because I was in hurry.

The pccardd uses the pccard.conf (notice, I had a
typo stating the file "pccardd.conf") to determine
how to enable the device.

After inserting the card you should get a message
from pccardd like this:
Sep  3 14:48:06 desire pccardd[136]: Card "Cisco Systems"("340 Series Wireless LAN Adapter") [(null)] [(null)] matched "Cisco Systems" ("340 Series Wireless LAN Adapter") [(null)] [(null)]

In your case it should be identical except of 340 replaced
by 350, if not, please tell me.
After this message the pccardd uses the configuration from
pccard.conf that matched the card ID string.

i.e. for my card I have these lines in pccard.conf:
card "Cisco Systems" "340 Series Wireless LAN Adapter"
        config  auto "an" ?
        insert  /etc/pccard_ether $device start
        remove  /etc/pccard_ether $device stop


Please tell me if the part with your card ID
I think it's "Cisco Systems" "350 Series Wireless LAN Adapter"
uses config auto "an" or "awi", the latter would be wrong.

Also be sure to edit the right pccard.conf (you might have
multiple ones and my pccardd uses /etc/defaults/pccard.conf
set by a commandline parameter.

No, in my oppinion, the pccardd decides which driver to
use according to his config file and the settings stated
there.
