It should be doable but you may need to build a kernel module for that
card. I did that once for my laptop, it was kind of hellish but I got it
done.. :)
What card is giving you trouble? Maybe someone on the list can help you
out. I got a lot of help getting my wireless pcmcia card working with
sarge from the debian-laptop list, this list would likely do just as
well.
udev is used with the 2.6 kernels now rather than hotplug. Do you have
udev installed now as apposed to hotplug?
