Thanks, Steven!

You seem to have an idea, why the card did not create an 
interface, yet: 

>>> Intel ISA/PCI/CardBus PCIC probe:
>>> O2Micro OZ6933 rev 01 PCI-to-CardBus at slot 00:13, mem 0x68000000
>>
>> Is your wireless card a CardBus card?

Obviously dmesg mentions the word Cardbus. But what is a Cardbus 
card? What is the difference to a non-Cardbus card?

>> Does it have a gold lip with bumps?

Sorry, I am not completely sure about what bumps look like. Difficult 
to say whethere there is a lip. Definitely not a golden one. The 
Avaya card is silver metallic and fits into one of the slots so that 
there is no room for another one to be put into the second slot. 

>> BL3 does not do CardBus.

So CardBus must be something very mean. Please do not try to explain 
it to me, if it is too complicated ;-)

Sindi, you seem to have gone ahead creating a number of new 
modules for potential Cardbus cards. I will try them soon and 
give report. For now, thank you very much.
