[NBLUG/talk] my laptop & wireless ethernet

[Micxz (lovedialup.com)]

My system uses "cardmgr" for hotplug devices and pcmcia cards etc. It's
hard for me to post the out put because it's not online due to this
issue. I'm going to boot it and copy it to a disk and move it to the
server; 

OK, I've configured cardmgr to load the driver prism2_cs, I choose this
driver because it's the one the product website provided, except this
one was already on my system.

Now I don't get "Unsupported Card" anymore I get:
