PCMCIA not working on compaq evo n200 laptop :(

#1 Post by stu »

Hi, just installed puppy 2.17.1 and all went well until i tried to get my wireless pcmcia card to work, when i use the internet connection wizard it only finds the builtin wired Ethernet port :(

and the lights on the wireless card do not turn on.

dmesg shows...

pcmcia: Detected deprecated PCMCIA ioctl usage from process: cardmgr.
pcmcia: This interface will soon be removed from the kernel; please expect breakage unless you upgrade to new tools.
pcmcia: see http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/k ... cmcia.html for details.

any help greatly appreciated
