It is in fact an internal PCI card (Mini-PCI) not a PCMCIA card.  Is
this still an issue?  Is there something I don't know?

I downloaded the Linux Drivers from the Cisco site per Jean Tourrilhes
instructions.  
http://www.cisco.com/public/sw-center/sw-wireless.shtml

And followed all of the instructions.  The driver loads but when I run
the utilities it returns "radio not found" 

Seems like the card isn't associated with the driver ... I'm relatively
new to Linux so I have no idea how to configure that ...
