no beep from unidentified wireless card
 

I have a desktop with a PCI => PCMCIA card adapter, and a PCMCIA wireless card, both from Linksys. A lot of places say that when I plug in my card, a beep is supposed to sound. However, I never hear a beep.
But when I plug it in, a red light appears, suppposedly showing an established link. However, it does not let me access the internet. (Also, /sbin/cardctl shows "manfid: 0x%04x, 0x%04x" - obviously unusable)

Does this mean that my PCI => PCMCIA adapter itself doesn't work? Also, because my wireless is a PCMCIA plugged into a PCI, should I follow troubleshoot instructions in the future for PCI, PCMCIA, or both?


Thanks a lot.
