I recently installed Feisty on my G3 Lombard, and purchased a WPC11V3 Linksys wireless card for the PCMCIA slot. The card will light up, but I do not see it listed in the Network Manager. Am I missing a step? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I should be able to use the Orinoco driver in /usr/src in order to ge the card to be recognized correctly, right? Any thought on why it would not recognized by lshw?

Have you tried adding this at the boot prompt:
pci=assign-busses
If it works, we can add it to the append= line of the /etc/yaboot.conf and do a sudo ybin -v

I will give it a shot tonight. I am a total noob with Linux, but I love what I can do with this old Powerbook I inherited, now that I have Ubuntu installed.
