Dell Inspiron 1100, Debian Sid, PCMCIA Lucent WAVELAN Gold wireless card. When I insert it, I hear the two beeps indicative of a successful card insertion
I'm running 2.6.6-2-686. I've tried running "modconf" to insert the wavelan_cs
Discovered the "wavelan_cs" module to be unnecessary.

I have a vague idea of needing to enable wlan0 in /etc/network/interfaces, but that doesn't do me any good.
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/network/interfaces auto lo iface lo inet loopback
auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp
I powered down the laptop; removed the Wavelan card, rebooted. Then ran dmesg, inserted the Wavelan, waited for the two beeps, then reran dmesg and compared. Now dmesg showed references to the card and to "eth1". So I changed the "wlan0" to "eth1", shut down the network,unplugged the wired ethernet cable, and then restarted the network ("/etc/init.d/networking start") and BANG! The wireless network works! Whoo-hoo!
