Re: CF Wireless card woes.

Hi Marcus,

Thank-you for your response; I have been through the logs and I am
getting the error: "No matching CIS Configuration. Maybe you need the
ignore_cis_vcc=1 parameter."

I have followed the old pre-udev instructions on that link you sent me
(to no avail), and I went to add the two udev rules to
/etc/udev/rules.d/*my card*.rules but there is no such file.

All I have in that directory is:
devfs-udev.rules
local.rules
permissions.rules
udev.rules

the config.opts file does seem to make a difference as to what module it
tries to load?

Any further ideas would be gratefully received.

Kind Regards

Dan
