Yes. It lights up when the message "Staring PCMCIA" appears in the boot
sequence. My cards has two lights. One light is very bright. The second is
much weaker and I can't be sure that it is even on (it might be merely
reflecting light from the other light). I also get two beeps (of equal
length and intensity).

I get the following message:
modprobe -r wvlan_cs
wvlan_cs: Driver unloaded
Unloading Kernel Card Services

So something is clearly happening :-)

I'm not sure if this is important or not, but my laptop also comes with a
built in miniPCI Wireless LAN combo card. Investigation I made before
purchasing suggested this was not supported in linux, but the PC card was.
Thus the purchase of the card.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
