Dear All,
I upgraded to 5.6 at the weekend, and now I can't get my wireless network card to work. I've tried pcmcia versions 3.1.22, 3.1.24 & 3.2.4, but I always get a "Transmit timeout" error in /var/log/messages.
I notice Duncan has also had similar problems (did you solve them, Duncan?)
By the way, I don't have the option of using a wired NIC onto an access point - it's connecting to a public subscription wireless network & I have to use the card they supply.
Here's the output from starting pcmcia:
