[MLB-WIRELESS] Prism2 driver problems...

I'm actually done some more digging... I'm now using the same module, but
updated the kernel to 2.4.14, and also using pcmcia-cs-3.1.28 - this seems
more promising, but when issuing a '/etc/init.d/pcmcia start' I get the
following in /var/log/messages - I also get one high beep, and one low
beep... to me, this means that the PCMCIA subsystem is working, but the card
drivers aren't... this is also supported by the log output below:

what's the easiest way to find out what the unresolved symbols are from?

Out the 100Base-T, off the firewall, through the router, down the T1,
over the leased line, off the bridge, nothing but Net.

The net will not be what we demand, but what we make it. Build it well.
