I am using a WPC11 card with the pcmcia-cs and linux-wlan-ng packages. That 
later contains drivers for the WPC11. As Casey mentioned it is important 
to set the SSID correctly. Within wlan-ng you can set the SSID to "" 
(blank) to associate with any AP.

Also, pcmcia-cs network script has a hard coded location for dhcpcd, which 
is different from where we install it. So you either need to change that 
or do dhcpcd manually.

When I was testing all of this I didn't bother with the hotplug/coldplug 
sutff, I jsust found the module and modprobed it and tested like that.
