OK, I've downloaded and installed the linux-wlan drivers and edited the
config to include:

card "Sony Corporation PCWA-C150"
   manfid 0x0156,0x0002
   bind "prism2_cs"

[Note: the default pcmcia-cs config has this same manfid bound to
orinoco_cs]

I still get the same error:

I've no idea what's causing the "Operation not permitted" error. I don't
think it's a module linking problem (depmod -ae doesn't list any errors),
nor can I see how it could be a userid problem (cardmgr runs as root after
all). This is very perplexing indeed...

Any ideas?

Thanks,
