No, but it can often tell us what's going on (most of the time). There
are three messages you're likely to get:
- "no driver found for ..." meaning your pccard.conf file entry is
wrong.
- "resource allocation failed for ..." meaning that the resource
information in your pccard.conf file conflicts with the
configuration entry you've selected from the card
- "driver allocation failed for ..." meaning that the driver probe
failed, or the kernel disagrees with you as to the resources that
you've assigned to the card (ie. they're in use elsewhere).

It *should* work, yes. The lack of incoming packets does suggest an
interrupt problem of some sort though.
