I installed a new Cisco MPI-350 PCI card into an IBM T30 Laptop. Unfortunately the card is not responding.
From the below queries it appears that the system sees the card but is not able to address it.
Appreciate any assistance offered.

It appears from above that both the airo and ndiswrapper modules are installed. Is this a problem? I installed the ndiswapper to get a USB wireless adapter to work but was unable to get it working reliably.
