Linksys WPC54G v3 on Ubuntu 8.04

[Madison Kelly]

Hi all,

   I've got a wireless card that worked the last time I played with it, 
but doesn't seem to work anymore. I am suspecting it is a hardware 
problem, but thought I'd consult the TLUG collective to see if maybe I 
am missing something.

   I've got a Thinkpad T40 running Ubuntu 8.04.1 and am trying to use a 
Linksys WPC54G v3 PCMCIA wireless NIC. I've installed the drivers 
(freshly downloaded) and loaded them under ndiswrapper, but it keeps 
declaring the hardware to not be present. I used a PCMCIA USB2 card to 
verify that the cardbus controller was fine, and it is.

   Below is the output of '/var/log/message' when I insert and remove 
the wireless card followed by the USB card (to show that it works).

   Any suggestions, tips or whatnot before I declare this NIC dead and gone?

Thanks!

Madi
