Greetings,
I have recently acquired a belkin F5D6020 rel. 2 pcmcia card. The reason I 
bought it was since it was listed as compatible with the orinoco_cs drivers. 
But when I tried to install it I found I had other problems.
I am running redhat 9.0 2.4.20-8

When I originally inserted the card, kudzu found it and supposedly installed 
it... Then, when I failed to find it anywhere in the settings in kde, I 
tried reboot, upon reboot, an interesting thing happened, the green status 
light went out on the card while linux was loading, and then kudzu loaded 
up, and brought me to a screen which said the Belkin card had been removed. 
Then I had the option to keep configuration, remove configuration or ok (do 
nothing). So for some reason there is a problem here.

After running into this issue, I did some googling (actually alot of 
googling) and I found the drivers for my card...
atmelwlandriver-3.2.4.4 from sourceforge.net
So I installed these drivers, did the configure, and made all, which 
successfully compiled the drivers.
After this step...
I am trying to get pcmcia services running for my wifi card on my laptop. I 
am running Redhat 9.0 2.4.20-8
I have a belkin f5d6020 ver. 2 card
i installed the atmel drivers (atmelwlandriver-3.2.44) from sourceforge.net

I edited the /etc/pcmcia/conf and added
device "pcmf502rd" class "network" module "pcmf502rd"

and then in the proper section... I placed the following lines:

card "Belkin F5D6020 rev.2"
		manfid 0x01bf, 0x3302
		bind "pcmf502rd"

Then I tried to restart with /etc/init.d/pcmcia restart
Upon trying to restart I get this error:
Shutting down PCMCIA services: cardmgr modulesds: Device or resouce busy
yenta_socket: Device or resouce busy
pcmcia_core: Device or resource busy
.
Starting PCMCIA services: cardmgr

when i type cardctl ident
product info: "Belkin", "11Mbps-Wireless-Notebook-Network-Adapter"
manfid: 0x01bf, 0x3302
function: 6 (network)
Socket 1:
no product info availible

when i type iwconfig i get:
lo	no wireless extensions.

Please let me know what you guys think, thanks.
