When I pop in a standard 3com 589cs card, the computer beeps, and beeps again when I take it out. That looked promising. I then put in his WAN card, a new Linksys Wireless B Adapter. (WPC11 version 4, which uses a Realtek chipset.) I heard nothing when putting it in, but heard a beep upon removing it. I checked the dmesg, and got a Nobody cared message (IRQ 9, I believe) and a: cs: unable to apply power.
As far as I know, this means that the card is not compatible with the slot. For example type 3 card in type 2 slot or 5 volt card in a 3.3 volt slot. Many older WLAN cards are 5 volt and some newer slots are only 3.3 volt. -Scott -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
