madwifi, pcmcia, kernel 2.6.17

I recently discussed my problems I was having with my WG511T wireless card and my laptop. Thinking that my problem was with my upgrade, I installed kubuntu to try something different. I loved the way everything just worked, for the user point of view, but as a developer it was a little difficult to get everything setup as required. The laptop, an IBM R30 also couldn’t really handle the strain of kubuntu, so arch is now back on the system.

Hope that a fresh install would solve all my problems was but whisked away with the wind when the wifi card did absolutely nothing when inserted. I’ve since discovered that the culprit wasn’t the madwifi drivers, as I had originally thought, but the pci probing in the kernel modules.

Since then, I’ve compiled the 2.6.16 kernel and everything is working handy-dandy again.
