I have the drivers, i have the software, but can I hell make them work.

I didn't know about ndiswrapper until reading this forum...
It was a dead simple install.
1 - Download Windoze driver for your PCMCIA card
2 - Insert card into slot : Linux pcmcia_core should complain that it doesn't recognise it.
3 - Configure ndiswrapper to load windows driver
ndiswrapper --h
Usage: ndiswrapper OPTION
Manage ndis drivers for ndiswrapper.
-i inffile Install driver described by 'inffile'
-d devid driver Use installed 'driver' for 'devid'
-e driver Remove 'driver'
-l List installed drivers
-m Write configuration for modprobe
I used ndiswrapper -i inifile for my driver and thats it : You shouldnt need to do this step again.
4 - Load the actual ndiswrapper module into the kernel...
rmmod ndiswrapper (removes the module if its already in the kernel)
modprobe ndiswrapper (insert the module)
At this point you should have the card recognised (dmesg)
lsmod (to see what drivers are loaded in your kernel)
