I gather that inserting/removing the card (Netgear WG511) should generate a PCI event. Can anyone tell me if that is the case? I don't appear to see any PCI event for that card only for the
on-board
nm256_audio chip.
Which WG511? and have you got hotplug installed? The only working WG511 is the WG511 v2 Made In Taiwan card, that I know of, and it's prism54 based, and you need the firmware. There's also the WG511T, which is atheros based, and works with the madwifi driver.
It's the WG511 v2 which is made in China. I bought it because the WG511 was so well supported in Linux and then discovered that they had changed the innards with this one and Prism54 no longer worked with it.
I've had to use ndiswrapper to get it workng.
If you haven't got hotplug running, you probably won't see the pcmcia events.
I do have hotplug installed.
