Bug Description
I have a Belkin F5D6020 orinoco-based wireless card that used to work fine under breezy (plug it in, tell network manager to connect to a given wireless network, get dhcp address and go). I just did a dapper update on the Thinkpad T22 I've got here, and it no longer works when I hotplug it.
It _does_ however work when the card is plugged in before boot. Network manager no longer works, but that's a different bug, I think (though perhaps not).
I've tried both orinoco_cs and hostap_cs and neither work when the card is hotplugged, and both work when the card is "coldplugged".
I'm guessing there's some issue with the T22's PCMCIA hardware vs. 2.6.15?

No luck in -23 either.
I think I have the same problem with an SMC wirelss PCMCIA cart using module atmel_cs.
I test the laptop and the card with the Breezy Live CD, and it worked fine.
Then I installed Dapper and while the interface is showing in the network manager, it seems not abble to connect.
I test an USB wireless adpatator and it is working fine.
By the way, I found a scenare to make my PCMCIA working with Dapper.
Here it is:
-Plug the PCMICA wireless card and the USB wireless adaptator
-Configure everything as it should be in the network manager
-Remove the PCMCIA card
-In terminal do: sudo modprob -r atmel_cs
-Plug the PCMCIA card
-In terminal do: sudo modprob atmel_cs
-Remove the USB adaptator
Then the PCMCIA continues to work fine.
I have tried the same scenario without the USB adpator part, but it is not working....

As far as I can tell, this is no longer a problem with edgy's kernel.

I can no longer reproduce this with either the latest or any earlier kernels anymore. Perhaps an update to another package resolved this? Anyway, it means I can now bring my sister's T22 up to Dapper, too. w00t!
