Using Arjan's 2.6-test7.1.51 and 2.6-test7.1.52 kernels, I have been
unable to get my wireless to work as well, using the kernels out of
rawhide/fedora-updates wlan works just fine. I only recently started
using the 2.6 kernels since test7 when they started working with my
touchpad and my usb mouse, so I don't know if wlan worked in previous
releases. The problem I'm seeing, is that even though it looks like my
pcmcia card is recognized, the ethernet the alias between the card and
eth1 (on my system) is not created. I'm willing to provide whatever logs
or other debugging info might be helpful towards resolving this
(however, I haven't had the time to dig into it myself yet)...
