[svlug] Getting wifi to work on my vaio with Debian

[Larry Colen]

I've tried to RTFM, but all the howtos I've found either assume that I
know something I don't, or are step by step recipies for a different
system (step 1, download the RPMs), or are out of date.

What are the basic steps for getting a pcmcia wireless card to work on
a debian laptop? 

Find out what card the system thinks I have.
Compile the module?
twiddle some file so cardmgr is happy
twiddle some other file so the networking system is happy

I've found something worse than oldies station that play the music I used to
listen to. Oldies stations that play the "new" music I used to complain about.
