If you're using Pysche (Red Hat Linux 8.0), you'll need to make a small
change to your configuration file to get the WPC11 recognized.  At
least, this was my experience with version 3 of the card:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=76305

Also see this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=86180

So, make sure you have the latest kernel to avoid getting those annoying
errors. Updating to shrike would be a good idea too; it's not that hard.

It's possible, however, that version 4 of the WPC11 card uses a
different chipset and all of the above is moot; I dunno for sure.
