NetworkManagerInfo not finding rt2400 Wireless PCMCIA card (which is active)

[Amitabha Roy]

I have the exactly same error when I start NetworkManager info.  I have 
set the eth1 (wireless) device to start up on boot and
the network comes up fine. However, I dont get the wireless applet in 
the notification area (where its supposed to come after 
NetworkManagerInfo is
run).  If I set ONBOOT=no,  then no network comes up (and I get the same 
error).

cardctl gives:
PRODID_1="TOSHIBA"
PRODID_2="Wireless LAN Card"
PRODID_3="Version 01.01"
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0156,0002
FUNCID=6
PRODID_1=""
PRODID_2=""
PRODID_3=""
PRODID_4=""
MANFID=0000,0000
FUNCID=255

I have a suspicion that HAL is not detecting it (the only net.interface 
property is set on my unused eth0)
Any ideas on how to correct this ?
