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"
Hmm, done that, and it's behaving itself a bit more, and when I restart PCMCIA card services, I get (edited): Aug 12 16:04:09 4ttgate kernel: wvlan_cs: index 0x01: Vcc 5.0, irq 5, io 0x0100-0x013f Aug 12 16:04:09 4ttgate kernel: wvlan_cs: Registered netdevice eth2 Aug 12 16:04:09 4ttgate kernel: wvlan_cs: MAC address on eth2 is 00 60 b3 68 b2 34 Aug 12 16:04:09 4ttgate kernel: wvlan_cs: PrismII card, rev 0x8 Aug 12 16:04:09 4ttgate kernel: wvlan_cs: Found firmware 0x8 (vendor 3) - Firmware capabilities : 1-0-0-0-1 Aug 12 16:04:09 4ttgate cardmgr[30332]: + ./network: /var/run/hotplug/net-eth2: No such file or directory Aug 12 16:04:10 4ttgate ifup: No configuration found for eth-pcmcia-0 eth2 However, on trying to configure the card with ifconfig, it seems to run OK, but in /var/log/messages: Aug 12 16:06:11 4ttgate kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth2: transmit timed out Aug 12 16:06:11 4ttgate kernel: wvlan_cs: eth2 Tx timed out!
