There are no .arm files of any kind with the Windows drivers, but Google 
found a file called isl3890 (91.8K) which I copied to 
/usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/.  Still no success.  lspci does not list the 
WG511, though other cardbus cards do show up.  The WG511 has two LEDs, 
which have never come on.  So I think I still have cardbus/PCMCIA 
problems, not network problems.  Am I correct that hotplug handles the 
card-computer interface, and that has to be working before the computer 
and network driver can  begin to work?

I'm confused about where the "firmware" comes in.  To me, "firmware" 
means non-volatile memory, and shouldn't have to be loaded every time 
the card starts up.

Thanks for the help.
