Comment 3 for bug 42989

This may be my problem, too. I have a Belkin F5D6020 orinoco-based PCMCIA card and I've been having a tough time after upgrading to dapper this evening (see bug #43194 for part 1 of my problems).

In the case that I can actually get the kernel to properly handle this card (by plugging it in before booting), I can't get NM to get past wpa_supplicant startup. I have open wireless, and this driver isn't even meant to support WPA, so I'm not sure what's up.

I can definitely use the card by disabling networking in the nm-applet, and doing a "sudo iwconfig eth0 essid my-network; sudo dhclient eth0". It's how I've connected and added this comment.
