Bug Description

I have a Belkin F5D6020 orinoco-based wireless card that used to work fine under breezy (plug it in, tell network manager to connect to a given wireless network, get dhcp address and go). I just did a dapper update on the Thinkpad T22 I've got here, and it no longer works when I hotplug it.

It _does_ however work when the card is plugged in before boot. Network manager no longer works, but that's a different bug, I think (though perhaps not).

I've tried both orinoco_cs and hostap_cs and neither work when the card is hotplugged, and both work when the card is "coldplugged".

I'm guessing there's some issue with the T22's PCMCIA hardware vs. 2.6.15?

I think I have the same problem with an SMC wirelss PCMCIA cart using module atmel_cs.

I test the laptop and the card with the Breezy Live CD, and it worked fine.

Then I installed Dapper and while the interface is showing in the network manager, it seems not abble to connect.

I test an USB wireless adpatator and it is working fine.

By the way, I found a scenare to make my PCMCIA working with Dapper.
Here it is:
-Plug the PCMICA wireless card and the USB wireless adaptator
-Configure everything as it should be in the network manager
-Remove the PCMCIA card
-In terminal do: sudo modprob -r atmel_cs
-Plug the PCMCIA card
-In terminal do: sudo modprob atmel_cs
-Remove the USB adaptator

Then the PCMCIA continues to work fine.

I have tried the same scenario without the USB adpator part, but it is not working....

As far as I can tell, this is no longer a problem with edgy's kernel.

I can no longer reproduce this with either the latest or any earlier kernels anymore. Perhaps an update to another package resolved this? Anyway, it means I can now bring my sister's T22 up to Dapper, too. w00t!
