check that your cardmgr knows that your card indent matches with the 
proper driver (nose around in /etc/pcmcia and 'cardctl ident/info' 
etc...). You can basically *link* any driver to any card that way 
(including alternative drivers like hostap (the best IMO) and wlan-ng or 
the kernel ones (good too of course).

if you get the pcmcia "bip BEEEP" sound you need to look into this...
