Has anyone been successful with PCMCIA cards being seen by CentOS4?
Yes, for reference, I have a somewhat old Linksys wireless PCMCIA 802.11b WPC11 ver. 3 card that works perfectly on my Toshiba Satellite laptop with CentOS 3.x and 4. It uses the orinoco_cs driver and was detected correctly on the OS installation. I set it up using the system- config-network script.
Are you're having a problem with a particular card or are you asking for a recommended brand? Perhaps you can provide a little more details about what you're looking for.

I tried an old prism, worked great, orinico same story. Tried a linksys, and it wouldn't run without the NDIS wrapper package.
For various reasons, none could use WPA_supplicant.

Does Fedora Core 4 (test 2) work with them?

I have multiple IBM R40 Thinkpads that will not recognize any card plugged into the pcmcia slot while running Centos 4. I first found the problem with Fedora 3. When Fedora 3 was initially installed the slot worked fine but as soon as the system was updated to a certain kernel level (don't remember which) the slot stopped working. The card I am working with is a Trans Digital Universal parallel port card. I have also plugged in a Belkin wireless card, as a test, to compare a different card. I still have a couple of Fedora 3 installs without updates that work but not Centos.
