Scuze the more than 70 char lines here...
Basically, take a look in your /var/log/messages and see if you see
something similar to this when you insert the card:
Jun 24 01:12:54 pan /kernel: pccard: card inserted, slot 0
Jun 24 01:12:54 pan pccardd[139]: Card "Lucent Technologies"("WaveLAN/IEEE") [Ve
rsion 01.01] [] matched "Lucent Technologies" ("WaveLAN/IEEE") [(null)] [(null)]
Jun 24 01:12:59 pan /kernel: wi0: <WaveLAN/IEEE 802.11> at port 0x240-0x27f irq
3 slot 0 on pccard0
Jun 24 01:12:59 pan /kernel: wi0: Ethernet address: 00:02:2d:02:a6:7d
Jun 24 01:12:59 pan pccardd[139]: wi0: Lucent Technologies (WaveLAN/IEEE) inserted.
If not, don't dispair. Here is an example of an unsupported card :
Jun 25 16:49:20 pan pccardd[139]: No card in database for "Dell"("TrueMobile 115
0 Series PC Card")
To fix this, I copied the Wavelan bit of my pccard.conf and changed it
as follows :
# Dell TrueMobile
card "Dell" "TrueMobile 1150 Series PC Card"
config 0x1 "wi" ?
# config auto "wi" ?
insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start
remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop
Now it works.
This assumes that the Sony card is a Wavelan OEM. This is a good place
to start.
