Ok. I have re-enabled ISA support in the kernel. But now it can't
connect to my AP anymore (the led card keeps blinking).

Here is the output of the log when I insert the card into its slot:

What is weird here is:

* I set the mode to manager and it speaks about Ad-hoc
* The -110 error which I don't know much more :(

Please, I really need help. I have regrets when thinking all worked
pretty well under 2.4.x kernel series.

Also note that I defined wireless extension to use into
/etc/network/interfaces file and not through /etc/pcmcia/wireless.opts
(as recommended into /usr/share/doc/wireless_tools/README.gz)

So what is wrong with this ?

FYI, here is an extract for the eth1 configuration:

,----
| iface eth1 inet static
|         address 10.0.0.3
|         network 10.0.0.0
|         netmask 255.0.0.0
|         gateway 10.0.0.1
|         wireless_essid gnurox
|         wireless_mode managed
`----

Thank you for your help and sorry to bother you with that.
