I'm having problems getting my D-Link DWL-G650+ cardbus WLAN card to identify correctly.
When I insert the card I get the following message:
PCI: device 0000:05:00.0 has unknown header type 7f, ignoring.
The card doesn't show up on lspci, but with lspci -H1 it is identified as:
0000:05:00.0 Network controller: Texas Instruments ACX 111 54 Mbps Wireless Interface
lspci -H1 -n
0000:05:00.0 0280: 104c:9066
My Thinkpad is the old 600 (non E/X/?) with a PII 266.
I've tried kernels 2.6.8-2-686 (debian), 2.6.10 and 2.6.11-rc4 (kernel.org).
Any ideas on how I convince linux to identify my card correctly so I can install a driver?

It won't identify the card exactly.

But it has identified the chipset used by the card which is all linux needs.

My Netgear WG511T card gets identified as a Atheros something or other because it uses the Atheros chipset and it works prefectly.


Check out htis page in the HCL if you need help setting it up.

The problem is that the kernel just ignores the card, so the driver module can't find the hardware.
lspci -H1 forces lspci to use direct access instead of asking the kernel, that's probably why I can see the card there, but that doesn't really help.
