Hi,

I have an Inspiron 2500 running RH 9.0 kernel 2.4.20-8 and

D-Link DWL-G650 (H/W Ver: B3 F/W Ver: 2.36)

I bought a DLINK DWL-G650 that works fine on windows. I'm trying to get it to work on Linux but,
the PCMCIA bus won't even activate it. No lights. Other cards are instantly recongized.

Here's lspci

** OK I recently just plugged in the card into the pcmcia slot and the link light came on and the final line of lspci showed up above.

This is the ouput of cardctrl ident
