wow, you have that card up and running? I wanted to "upgrade" to a
cardbus card and tried the FA511 but couldn't get it to work.
What kernel version do you use? Did you compile pcmcia support into
the kernel? Did you pick pcmcia-cs from unstable?
When I bring up the card by hand, ifconfig shows that the card is
sending packets but never receiving anything. Also, the vendor is
0xffff and lspci calls that illegel...
