I have installed the driver for my Belkin F5D6020b card on my Mandrake 9.2 system. I have gotten it to work, (almost.) Upon startup, this card does not initialize properly. When I run a "/etc/init.d/pcmcia restart" it works just fine, but before that, it won't work at all.

What I have done:
-I have run lsmod just before the pcmcia restart and verified that the pcmf502rd module is running. yenta_socket and pcmcia_core modules are also running. (Same as after the restart of pcmcia.)

-I have run "ifup eth0" before restarting pcmcia, and gotten this message: "dhcpd is running ifdown it before". (Seems as though it's already up.)

-I have set it in DrakeConnect to initialize card on startup.

-I have run dmesg, and only found these messages relating to my card, that I can find: (I removed my SSID and replaced it with *'s. The SSID is correct.

-I get an error message upon startup that I don't know how to capture. It begins by saying:

insmod: Hint: insmod errors can be caused by...

and then I lose what it's saying. This message is not duplicated in dmesg.

- I have run ifconfig both before and after restarting pcmcia services, and havge found them to be almost identical. (Except for the number of packets transmitted...of course.)

My stats:

I am running Mandrake 9.2, with a kernel version of 2.4.22-10mdk. I have run "/sbin/cardctl ident" and have gotten the following response:

Socket 0:
no product info available
Socket 1:
product info: "Belkin", "11Mbps-Wireless-Notebook-Network-Adapter"
manfid: 0x01bf, 0x3302
function: 6 (network)

The information for the Belkin card, I have entered into my /etc/modules.conf file and my /etc/pcmcia/atmel.conf file. (Correctly...I have checked.)

So why is this card not being set up properly? If you need the exact text of the insmod error I get on startup, I can post it...just give me enough time to boot my system about 7 times to get it all written down. Unless someone knows of a good way to capture what is on the screen during startup.

Please help, someone.
