I got it to work by simply adding the following to /etc/defaults/pccard.conf, right after the entry for the SMC2632; # SMC's SMC2532W-B EliteConnect Wireless Adapter card "SMC" "SMC2532W-B EliteConnect Wireless Adapter" config auto "wi" ? insert /etc/pccard_ether $device start remove /etc/pccard_ether $device stop Add the above and reboot. The card should now be recognized. As you can see, this addition is just copying the entry for the 2632. I just guessed it might work, and so far it has. If you have any problems, give me a yell.
