Hi all,

I have two D-Link adapters: a DWL-G122 (USB) and a DWL-G650+ (PCMCIA).

When I plug any of the adapters on my computer, nothing happens 
(ifconfing does not show any new interfaces). I manually loaded the 
prism2_cs and prism2_usb modules, which loaded successfully, but still, 
I get no new interfaces. The only thing that the kernel says when I 
plug in the USB adapter is (according to dmesg): 
 
===
usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 2 
prism2usb_init: prism2_usb.o: 0.2.2 Loaded 
prism2usb_init: dev_info is: prism2_usb 
usbcore: registered new driver prism2_usb 
===

Note that the driver was loaded manually, by me, as suggested the README 
file: modprobe prism2_usb prism2_doreset=1
 
The "lsusb" command gives:

===
dawn ~ # lsusb
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 045e:0084 Microsoft Corp.
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 2001:3703 D-Link Corp. [hex]
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
===

Now, when I plug in the PCMCIA adapter nothing is output by the kernel. 
If I load the driver, syslog shows: 

=== 
Dec 18 22:49:07 dawn prism2cs_init: prism2_cs.o: 0.2.2 Loaded 
Dec 18 22:49:07 dawn prism2cs_init: dev_info is: prism2_cs
===

Nothing else happens... and I have no new interfaces! :( 

I had a look at the archives and I only found a suggestion that 
module-init-tools should be upgraded. This is at: 
http://lists.linux-wlan.com/pipermail/linux-wlan-user/2005-September/013489.html

However, I am using module-init-tools 3.2.1

The cardctl command gives:

===
dawn ~ # cardctl status
Socket 0:
  3.3V CardBus card
  function 0: [ready]
Socket 1:
  no card
dawn ~ # cardctl ident 0
  no product info available
===

I'd be glad to give any further information to anyone who can help. 
Thanks in advance!

P.S. The adapters do not even light up! (their LEDs I mean).
