My laptop has a Dell TrueMobile 1150 wireless card, which fell over using rc1-mm1.

/sbin/pccardctl ident:

Socket 2:
  product info: "Dell", "TrueMobile 1150 Series PC Card", "Version 01.01", ""
  manfid: 0x0156, 0x0002
  function: 6 (network)

Found in 2.6.16-rc1-mm1 dmesg:

orinoco 0.15rc3 (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>, et al)
orinoco_cs 0.15rc3 (David Gibson <hermes@gibson.dropbear.id.au>, Pavel Roskin <proski@gnu.org>, et al)
orinoco_cs: GetNextTuple(): No matching CIS configuration.  Maybe you need the ignore_cis_vcc=1 parameter.
2.0: GetFirstTuple: No more items
orinoco_cs: GetNextTuple(): No matching CIS configuration.  Maybe you need the ignore_cis_vcc=1 parameter.

and a non-functioning wireless card.

A 2.6.15 dmesg says:

I haven't tried adding ignore_cis_vcc to the boot yet, I'm on my way out the door...
