Wireless worked on install doesn't work after 1st reboot

I used the netinst disk from Debian and installed everything via the wireless card. Now when I reboot it is not working. How do I tell how it was working on the install. Is there a log file somewhere that shows it settings at that time?

Have you tried to "modprobe xxxxx" add the driver for your wireless card.

Good point. In /etc/pcmcia/conig the card I have is listed as(MS-ironic, huh?):

Code:

device "orinoco_cs"
  #class "network" module "hermes", "orinoco", "orinoco_cs"
  class "network" module "orinoco_cs"

Code:

card "Microsoft Wireless Notebook Adapter MN-520 1.0.3"
  version "Microsoft","Wireless Notebook Adapter MN-520","","1.0.3"
  bind "orinoco_cs"

When doing modprobe in my case would it simply be:

Code:

modprobe orinoco_cs

Thanks

Alright I tried:

Code:

modprobe orinoco_cs

and nothing worked.

Nevermind, I gave up. Just installed FC5 and wireless works perfectly out of the box.
