I just installed a D-Link DCF-650W on my laptop (SuSE 8.0) with a slightly-hacked CF-PCMCIA adapter. I thought it strange that my card also identified itself to card services as a ZCOM XI-300. I got mine going when I switched from 'kernel' to 'external' PCMCIA support, and added the following to my /etc/pcmcia/config: card "D-Link DCF-650W" #card "Z-Com XI300 11Mb/s 802.11b WLAN Card" manfid 0xd601, 0x0002 bind "wvlan_cs" Try running `cardctl ident` and see what it tells you... I also edited /etc/dhclient.conf and changed 'initial-interval 2' to 'initial-interval 5' when I was failing on initial attempts to negotiate a DHCP IP address. Rick Green
