Re: Cannot get Debian sarge/linux-2.6.10 to recognize Netgear PCI Card

[johnc <johnc909@comcast.net>]

Ok ... that does help ... but further, my question now is:  doesn't 
lspci report all devices detected, regardless of whatever my kernel's 
wireless driver config is like?

I'm not getting anything from lspci about this device.  Does that 
suggest a more fundamental problem?
