A. The most common cause of this behavior is the inability of the PC to communicate with the card through the PCMCIA socket. Check the driver for your PC Card Socket. If it is a CardBus driver, it is most likely 32-bit only. The Cisco Aironet card requires 16-bit access, and if the modules for the socket are compiled for 32-bit mode only, you must recompile them into 16-bit capable versions. Check lsmod in order to verify that the airo and pcmcia_core modules are loaded.
