Re: problems gettting Linksys WPC11 Ver3.0 working

I have it working on 4.6-STABLE. 

This entry from 4.6 should match the 3.0 card:
# Linksys Instant Wireless WPC11 v2.5
card "The Linksys Group, Inc." "Instant Wireless Network PC Card"
        config  auto "wi" ? 0x10000
        insert  /etc/pccard_ether $device start
        remove  /etc/pccard_ether $device stop

It works just fine..
