I was too snappy with my answer not giving my self enough time to
understand the problem correctly. For that, please accept my appologies.
I understand now that he can't find the wireless controller. Yes, he
might need pcmcia enabled. But the network interface only appears after
the driver is running. Until that, not even the list in /proc/pci lists
a Network Controller. Only a Unknown Device. This is until the kernel
has previous information about the vendor and device ID.
It's possible that its something embbeded with Centrino technology. If
that is correct, please se page http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ for
more details. I can't explain in more detail, because I never needed to
make that work. I know it works because I know people that made it work.
Not being embbeded with Centrino, I can't realy help much. This being, I
suggest that it copies the name of the device under Windows and search
about compatibility with Orinoco, acx100_pci ou other driver.
How now it helps.
