Be sure to have the drivers either build in the kernel or as a module.
Watch Dmesg after putting the card in. There should be some messages
about pcmcia and loading the prism driver if this is so and you have
puttet the firmware to the correct place all should work fine.
Perhaps post your kernel.conf and the driver and firmware version you
are using.
