thank you for your link! but i think my problem has something to do with the firmware and section in craigs tutorial doesn´t help me.
when i type tail -f /var/log/messages and i insert the pcmcia wlan card i recive this output:
Code:

Jul 24 11:53:53 xemxijo kernel: acx100_pci: probe of 0000:06:00.0 failed with error -5
i highlighted the part, which i think is my problem. now my question is where and how can i tell the kernel to search after the firmware. And my 2nd question is where can i found a standard acx100 firmware, because i doesn´t know the manufactor of the card?
sincerely xiral
